AFMA’s primary events are the Asia-Pacific Mining Conference and Exhibition (APMREC) which is normally held once every two years, and the Private Sector Forum (PSF) which is usually held yearly in conjunction with the inter-governmental ASEAN Senior Officials Meetings on Minerals (ASOMM).

Both these events are regional in nature and normally deal with common mineral industry-related issues and concerns as well as latest developments, new technologies, mining policies, mineral legislations and investments opportunities in the mining and mineral resource industry.
