Asia Pacific Precious Metals Conference 2017
The inaugural Asia Pacific Precious Metals Conference, held on 4-6 June 2017, was attended by over 330 delegates from 170+ companies spread over 24 countries. The conference showcased the diversity and potential of the region’s precious metals sector, and witnessed the signing of Memoranda of Understandings (MOUs) between Myanmar Gold Development Public Company, and between The Chinese Gold & Silver Exchange Society and SBMA to foster closer collaboration. SBMA and IE Singapore along with its host of sponsors and partners would like to thank the speakers, delegates, and exhibitors for their wholehearted support.
