The main stage cannot be missed, as it is separate from the exhibition areas, and has enough room to host several key speakers at the event. The second stage is specifically for the Junior Mining Forum, and can be found at the opposite side of the building, next to the Networking and Coffee zones. A third stage will be introduced for Government Sessions and Technical Tracks, with the Speed Networking area separating this stage from the Junior Mining Forum area.

Other zones include the Business Matchmaking Zone and the Investment Battlefield, with exhibition spaces making up the rest of the available floor space in the building.
