On the eve of the grand opening of the conference, the second "Manganese BA" basketball round-robin tournament kicked off. Manganese industry athletes made friends through basketball, cultivating friendships with sweat and igniting passion with hard work on the fertile ground of Chongqing, warming up the atmosphere for this global manganese industry event.
As the game began, the arena was already a boiling battlefield. Players darted between offense and defense like arrows, their shoes screeching against the floor as they came to a sudden stop, like the urging of war drums. A behind-the-back dribble shook off the defender, followed by a perfect bounce pass that weaved through the crowd, a teammate anticipating the move and cutting to the basket, receiving the ball, leaping, and finishing with a layup – the entire sequence executed in a single breath. The basketball spun around the rim before obediently sinking into the net, the bench erupting in cheers, towels flying, shouts crashing like a tidal wave. The score remained close, the lead changing hands frequently, every steal eliciting gasps, every free throw holding the breath of the entire arena. Sweat dripped from their chins onto the wooden floor, leaving dark spots, but the players' eyes remained fixed on the basket, their gazes unwavering. This was the fervent prelude to the manganese industry's camaraderie through basketball, the most exhilarating prelude to tomorrow's grand tournament.
On the afternoon of the 15th, the official registration channel for the conference opened, and colleagues and guests from all over the country, filled with enthusiasm, arrived one after another. At the registration area, staff were already in place, full of energy and welcoming smiles, offering professional and efficient service to every guest who had traveled from afar.

Inside and outside the venue, clear and prominent signage extended from the registration area to the main venue, exhibition area, and rest area, acting as a silent guide, allowing every participant to move freely and easily. Carefully prepared conference materials were handed out, and warm greetings of reunion filled the air. Smiles and anticipation intertwined, and in this atmosphere of thoughtfulness and warmth, this wonderful journey of intellectual exchange slowly began.
The registration area was neatly arranged with conference materials and industry promotional materials, covering manganese industry market dynamics, in-depth market analysis, technological innovation achievements, and cutting-edge industry trends. These materials showcased the industry's annual research findings and highlighted the professional depth of the conference. During registration, attendees actively exchanged ideas, business cards, and discussed industry topics, sharing perspectives on the current market situation and technological innovation. This vibrant exchange laid a solid foundation for the subsequent agenda items.
Meanwhile, the manganese industry trade fair fostered a lively atmosphere. The supply and demand matching area was packed, with delegates engaging in in-depth business discussions and cooperation negotiations. Some companies even signed letters of intent on-site. Staff provided on-site support, facilitating connections and helping companies implement their collaborations. In the company exhibition area, a large screen continuously displayed the brands and project advantages of various companies. The event generated significant business opportunities and yielded remarkable results in industry matchmaking.
Beyond the lively discussions, the targeted exchange meetings also quietly sparked deeper insights. Inside the closed-door exchange meeting at the manganese plant, industry leaders sat around a table, engaging in in-depth discussions on core topics such as plant operations, technological upgrades, and cost optimization. There were no polite pleasantries, only candid questions and pragmatic responses. Genuine insights progressed layer by layer in the private and focused atmosphere, forging a practical consensus and pathway for improving the quality and efficiency of manganese plants.
The "Gathering Manganese in New Materials" exchange meeting on the in-depth expansion of the manganese-based new materials industry chain was held concurrently. Experts and enterprise representatives at the meeting focused on the cutting-edge breakthroughs and industrial chain extension of manganese-based new materials. They analyzed and explored the feasibility of technical paths and the entry points for collaborative development one by one, injecting new momentum into the manganese industry's in-depth advancement into the field of new materials.
The release ceremony of the Global Manganese Mine Distribution Map 2026 brought the atmosphere to a climax. As the curtain slowly rose, this authoritative map, which integrates industry data and a global perspective, was officially unveiled, providing important reference for upstream and downstream enterprises in the manganese industry chain to plan resources and judge trends. Thunderous applause filled the room, freezing the enthusiastic atmosphere of the first day of the conference into an unforgettable moment—from the practical results of trade negotiations to the in-depth exchanges behind closed doors, from the in-depth exploration of new material pathways to the panoramic presentation of global manganese resources, the present and future of the manganese industry converged on this day.
