Talks & Panels with Industry Experts
We host regular discussions with professionals from across energy, metals, and agriculture, as well as those active in trading within these markets. Through talks, panels, and fireside conversations, members gain direct exposure to market perspectives and career insights. These sessions are designed to go beyond surface-level presentations, giving students the chance to engage with practitioners and understand the realities of working in commodities.

The Society highlights opportunities to attend global commodities events, assists with applications, and connects members with professionals across energy, mining, and agriculture. By bridging the gap between the university and industry gatherings, we give our members first-hand exposure to the conversations shaping global markets.
