Connecting Uranium Forum Queensland
From Exploration to energy
Wednesday 25 November - Gladstone, Queensland
8.30am – 12.30pm
Queensland’s uranium story is already being written. Companies are investing in exploration and advancing projects, global demand for uranium is growing and Australia is a major participant in the international market. Yet Queensland’s uranium resources cannot currently progress to mining, creating one of the most interesting resources conversations in the state and one the broader resources, construction, engineering and industry supply chain should understand.
The Connecting Uranium Forum Queensland brings that conversation into one room. Hear what’s happening on the ground, understand where investment and exploration are heading and gain insight into the commercial, industry and policy factors that will determine what happens next. For businesses across the resources and supply chain sectors, investors, industry and anyone wanting to better understand the sector, it’s an opportunity to get closer to the projects, understand where existing capabilities could fit in the future and connect with the people shaping the discussion.
The value is in understanding what’s coming before everyone else is talking about it. Explore the potential, make connections and gain a clearer picture of where Queensland’s uranium industry stands today, what future development could mean for the broader supply chain and where the sector could go from here.
Networking is built into the forum, beginning with the Pre-Forum Industry Networking Evening at Ward’s Brewery on Tuesday, 24 November, followed by dedicated opportunities to connect with presenters, industry representatives and other attendees throughout and after the forum. Morning tea (10am-10.30am) and a light lunch (12.30pm-2pm) are provided, with registration and networking from 7:30am and the forum commencing at 8:30am at the Gladstone Entertainment Convention Centre.

WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE
Hear directly from uranium explorers as they share what is happening across their Queensland projects, where exploration is heading and what needs to happen to progress from discovery towards development. Gain a broader understanding of the global uranium market, investment environment and the policy and industry settings influencing Queensland’s uranium opportunity, and what future development could mean for the resources, construction, engineering and broader industry supply chain.
The forum brings explorers, investment, industry and political perspectives together for a live, on-stage discussion facilitated by AMEC CEO Warren Pearce, focused on: “What will it take to unlock Australia’s uranium opportunity from exploration to development?” For the supply chain, it’s an opportunity to hear that discussion early and understand the challenges, requirements and potential pathways involved in progressing projects.
This is where the individual presentations come together, perspectives are challenged and the conversation turns to what needs to happen next. For those wanting to understand the uranium sector, the projects being explored and the potential opportunities ahead, the Connecting Uranium Forum Queensland provides the insight, connections and industry conversation in one room, including the opportunity for businesses to better understand where their capabilities could fit as the sector develops.

Robbie has also been a strong and consistent advocate for the return of uranium mining in Queensland. In June 2026, he moved a motion in Queensland Parliament calling for the uranium mining ban to be lifted, pointing to Queensland's significant uranium resources, growing global demand and the potential economic opportunity for the state and regional communities.
