Fastmarkets Global Lithium, Battery & Critical Materials is Fastmarkets’ flagship annual meeting for senior leaders across the lithium, battery and critical materials value chain.

Formerly known as the Lithium Supply and Battery Raw Materials Conference, the event has evolved to reflect the growing convergence of lithium markets, battery materials, energy storage and critical minerals.

Held in Las Vegas, the event brings together producers, processors, recyclers, OEMs, investors, policymakers and downstream buyers to support deal-making, market alignment and long-term supply planning across electric vehicle and energy storage markets.

Lithium remains at the core of the event, supported by a broader focus on battery raw materials, midstream development and emerging demand from energy storage and strategic industries.

Why this event matters

Global lithium and battery supply chains are entering a new phase shaped by volatility, capital discipline, policy intervention and shifting demand dynamics.
Energy storage is scaling rapidly alongside electric vehicles, creating new procurement requirements and long-term demand signals. Governments are placing increasing emphasis on supply security, localisation and critical minerals strategy. At the same time, investment decisions are moving from ambition to execution, with offtakes, partnerships and public-private funding playing a more central role.
Fastmarkets Global Lithium, Battery & Critical Materials provides a neutral, data-led forum for senior decision-makers to assess these changes, align strategy and progress commercial discussions across the value chain.

Why Fastmarkets Global Lithium, Battery & Critical Materials matters

The event attracts a senior, international audience spanning:

This cross-section reflects how supply chains, investment and procurement decisions are made in practice.

Format and focus

The event is delivered as an in-person meeting designed around commercial outcomes and peer-level engagement.

The program combines market outlooks, regional deep dives and thematic discussions across lithium, batteries, energy storage and critical materials. Structured and informal networking runs throughout the week, supported by shared spaces, bookable meeting areas and curated formats that prioritise face-to-face conversation.

A co-located Energy Storage Summit brings utilities, developers and grid-scale buyers into the same week, expanding the buyer universe and strengthening links between upstream supply and downstream demand.
