AEGC2025 program and keynotes announced

AEGC2025 is returning to the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre, September 8 – 11, 2025.

The Australasian Exploration Geoscience Conference (AEGC2025) brings together global leaders and innovators across exploration, energy, geophysics and sustainability.

Under the theme Exploring innovation for a sustainable future, AEGC2025 will present the latest technical insights and practical applications shaping the resources industry now and into the future.

With the event just weeks away, there’s still an opportunity to register across multiple categories, including student, member and day passes, making it accessible for professionals at all stages of their careers.

Program snapshot:

  • September 8: Registration, exhibitor move-in and welcome reception
  • September 9 – 11: Full technical program, keynote and plenary sessions, oral and poster presentations, plus networking and social events

Program highlights include:

  • Globally recognised keynote and plenary speakers such as BHP (ASX: BHP) principal geoscientist Dr Cam McCuaig, Western Mining Services principal Dr Jon Hronsky OAM and Chevron lower carbon geology advisor Ms. Ishtar Barranco, alongside more than 20 other influential geoscience experts.
  • Deep-dive technical sessions covering mineral exploration case studies, basin evolution, geophysics across multiple industries, carbon storage, critical minerals and machine learning in geoscience.
  • Oral and poster presentations from leading researchers and industry professionals worldwide, offering cutting-edge perspectives on seismic processing, greenfield exploration and the energy transition.
  • A dedicated Poster Happy Hour (September 9), designed to encourage informal discussion and collaboration.

Professional development opportunities
AEGC2025 goes beyond the main program, offering a series of short courses and field trips for participants looking to expand their expertise in areas such as:

  • Petrophysics for geoscientists
  • Seismic interpretation for mineral exploration
  • Geostatistics and resource estimation
  • Machine learning applications in geoscience
  • Near surface geophysics and energy transition

Networking and industry connections
Delegates can look forward to a variety of networking opportunities including:

  • Welcome reception
  • AEGC networking breakfast and panel — What We Miss When We Don’t Look Deeper? Exploring Bias in Data, AI and Humans — facilitated by Elemental Insight director Dr Heidi Pass and joined by WA Data Science Innovation Hub director Alex Jenkins and Ms. Ishtar Barranco.
  • Poster happy hour sessions
  • Official conference dinner
  • Dedicated early-career geoscientist events

AEGC2025 is a joint initiative of ASEG, PESA and AIG, designed to foster knowledge exchange and collaboration between geoscientists, researchers and industry leaders globally.
