Rare Earth Mines, Magnets & Motors 2024

Where the mine-to-motor supply chain connects
The two-day conference will bring together major participants from across the mine-to-motor supply chain for high-caliber discussions on the state of emerging supply chains, the outlook for demand and the implications of evolving geopolitical forces.

Key questions to be answered during the conference:

• What are the implications of new U.S. tariffs on EVs and magnets?
• Will tariffs on imports of Chinese EVs help or hinder western demand?
• What are the latest innovations in magnetic materials and motor design?
• What does the outlook hold for REE-free motors?
• What role will recycling play in the future of supply?
• How can policymakers help close gaps in the supply chain?

Outside the scope of the daily conference program, there will be two evening networking events, including a private Welcome Reception at the Hockey Hall of Fame, to ensure ample time for participants to connect.

Space is limited, register now.

The Royal York Hotel sits at the southern end of the Financial District, a business district in Downtown Toronto.

Opened in 1929, the Châteauesque-styled building is considered one of Canada's grand railway hotels. At 134 meters tall, the building was the tallest building in Toronto upon its completion, as well as the tallest building in the country, until the nearby Commerce Court North tower was opened in 1931.
