The gathering that was born and grew alongside the industry.
From the Lithium Triangle to the whole world.
Argentina is today the world's fourth-largest lithium producer, with more than 56 projects spread across the salt flats of Salta, Jujuy and Catamarca. It is in this territory that Lithium in South America has spent fifteen editions bringing together those who produce, finance, regulate and develop the most strategic mineral of the global energy transition, being the first event of its kind to emerge in the region.
With a record attendance edition after edition, world-renowned speakers and the leading players of the lithium industry in Latin America, the conference is today one of the most recognized events at the local, regional and global level. For many experts and institutions in the sector, it is the most important lithium event, held on the very ground where the region's most emblematic projects and operations take place.
It covers all the current production, technology, investment, innovation and development news applied to lithium, with an annual rotating venue across the three northwestern Argentine provinces that concentrate the country's largest lithium resources and operations. The agenda is curated together with C-level figures and covers the concrete variables affecting operations and investment that year, with a view that integrates both the dynamism of the sector in Argentina and the global geopolitical and financial landscape.

Structured meetings with decision-makers
One-to-one matchmaking with CEOs, project directors, specialized funds and regulatory authorities. Your meeting agenda is set before you even land in Jujuy.
A program focused on what's next for lithium
Every panel is built together with C-level figures in the sector. Each session tackles the concrete variables affecting operations and investment that year.
A venue at the productive heart of it all
Jujuy concentrates the highest density of producing projects in the Lithium Triangle. The technical and operational teams of the leading ventures are just hours from the event.
Long-term institutional positioning
Fifteen editions building the region's benchmark lithium circuit. Attending means taking a position on the sector's strategic agenda with a global reach.
Access to the ongoing project pipeline
Timelines, production scales and requirements of projects under construction and feasibility studies, presented directly by the teams responsible for their development.
Networking beyond the conference
Cocktails, business coffees and brunches aimed at companies and sponsors. Spaces designed for direct contact in a relaxed setting, outside the classic conference format.
Parallel agenda and side events
A central conference plus simultaneous thematic tracks to dig deeper into specific segments of the industry: technology, investment, regulation and the lithium value chain.
The landscape Argentina: from emerging
South America:
Argentina: from emerging
player to
structural protagonist.
In under five years, Argentina went from two projects in production to consolidating seven active operations with expansion plans underway. With RIGI in force and a pipeline of more than 20 projects in advanced stages, the country is on the verge of reshaping the global lithium supply map. An industry that Panorama Minero has followed closely since 2011, when Argentine lithium was taking its first steps and today stands as a global protagonist of the sector.
South America:
a region you can't afford to overlook.
