Shanghai Metals Market (SMM) has announced the fifth edition of the Indonesia Critical Minerals Conference & Expo, which will take place in Jakarta from June 16 to 18, 2027. Tin is one of the metals featured on the agenda, with a dedicated tin sub-forum scheduled for June 17, 2027, in Warhol 1&2 from 09:00 to 11:50. According to the SMM announcement published on October 23, 2026, the sub-forum opens with a keynote on the tin price outlook for 2027 to 2028, which will examine Myanmar's Wa State, DRC exports and Indonesian exports as possible sources of the next phase of supply.
The tin sub-forum also includes a roundtable on the aftermath of the mining area rectification in Bangka, focusing on licensed smelters and JFX trading rules and on who controls Indonesian tin supply at present. A keynote on monazite, zircon and ilmenite in Bangka tailings asks whether tin sand could support a second business line. A closing roundtable addresses solder, semiconductors and spot premiums, and how Indonesian tin sellers and Asian electronics buyers sign contracts and hedge amid what the agenda describes as sharp fluctuations on the London Metal Exchange (LME).
On the main forum stage on June 17 afternoon, a session titled around Indonesia's tin export policy and the global electronic supply chain is also scheduled, according to the same SMM agenda. The conference is multi-metal and covers nickel, aluminum, copper, tin, coal and rare earths. SMM states that nickel remains the key focus of the event, while tin is one of several metals gaining attention in Indonesia's mining sector.
The event is held every June in Jakarta and is positioned by SMM as an annual platform for Indonesia's mining and smelting industry. The SMM announcement does not provide tin price levels, production volumes or supply-demand balance figures. The session titles refer to topics such as Wa State supply, DRC and Indonesian exports, and LME price swings, but the source does not quantify them.
Readers seeking price, output or balance data for tin should consult other sources.
