LME Week 2026, the annual gathering of the global metals community, returns to London in the week of 19 October 2026. The flagship LME Metals Seminar takes place on Monday 19 October at the QEII Centre in Westminster, with the traditional LME Dinner following on the Tuesday evening.
Hosted by the London Metal Exchange, LME Week draws producers, smelters, traders, brokers, financiers and analysts from across the metals supply chain for a week of seminars, client meetings and evening receptions across the City of London. Discussions center on the year ahead for base metals demand, supply and pricing, with energy transition metals expected to dominate the 2026 agenda.
The week functions as the metals industry's informal annual summit: alongside the official seminar program, banks, brokers and producers host their own client events, and a significant share of the year's physical supply agreements are discussed during the week. Senior executives from mining houses, commodity traders and financial institutions attend.
For executives and advisers planning attendance, the LME Metals Seminar on 19 October anchors the official calendar, with most private programming concentrated between Monday and Thursday of the week.
