About

The 3^rd BEV In-Depth: Mines to Mobility conference includes an opening dinner on May 29th and full day conference on May 30th, 2024 at Cambrian College of Applied Arts and Technology in Sudbury, Ontario.

Building on the success of previous year’s, the conference will continue to put the entire EV battery supply chain under the microscope, examining both the incredible opportunities and challenges to be overcome in advancing the battery-electric economy. By design, the session topics, speakers, and panelists will explore cross-sectoral collaboration with attendance from businesses driving innovation in the automotive, battery, green energy, mining, and mineral processing as well as the various allied supply and services companies.

In addition, we invite conference delegates and the public to view and test drive battery electric vehicles throughout the day of the conference on May 30th.

Building on the tremendous success of previous years, our conference and parallel exhibition is co-hosted by Cambrian College, EV Society, Frontier Lithium, and the City of Greater Sudbury. Additionally, we are pleased to deliver this unique conference in cooperation with Accelerate-ZEV, Electric Autonomy Canada, and the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network (OVIN) who collectively add significant value and expertise to the program.
