The exhibition is an augmented extension of physical and hybrid events organised by the MINEX Forum. The exhibition provides opportunities for organising online presentation of machines, equipment, services and projects in the field of exploration, production and processing of metals and minerals. Visitors can access the exhibition via an Internet browser at any time without downloading additional software. The technology behind the exhibition creates a sense of real presence. Visitors can independently move through the halls, visit individual stands, open documents, watch videos, listen to audio recordings. Through feedback forms or contact buttons, visitors can ask exhibitor a question, book appointment, arrange a phone or a video call.
Virtual exhibition booths are located in exhibition halls divided by regions where MINEX forums are held – Kazakhstan, Russia and Europe. The list of exhibitors is placed at the entrance to each hall on interactive plans with the possibility of teleportation to the selected booth.
