THE PREMIER COMMODITIES CONFERENCES OF 2026: Top Shelf Partners Brings Together the Smart Money, the Best CEOs, and the Biggest Macro Minds & WE HAVE 3 FREE VIRTUAL TICKETS TO GIVE AWAY!
The commodities supercycle is no longer a theoretical debate; it is a mathematical reality. With gold and silver trading near all-time highs, structural supply deficits across critical minerals, and institutional capital beginning to rotate out of overvalued tech sectors, the window to position yourself in the right resource equities is closing.
The investors who generate generational wealth in this cycle will not be the ones buying index funds; they will be the ones who sit across the table from the CEOs of emerging growth companies before the broader market discovers them.
That is exactly why we are thrilled to feature Top Shelf Partners and their upcoming Commodities Global Expo events this May. For more information, check out their website HERE.
We recently had the pleasure of interviewing their founder, John Feneck, on the Metals and Miners YouTube channel, and their approach to connecting high-net-worth investors with vetted, high-potential mining and energy companies is unparalleled.

For serious resource investors, these are the premier networking and discovery events of 2026. They are a must attend and John has been so gracious to give me 3 free tickets to give away.
Let’s Dig Into The Following:
Two Premier Events in May 2026: Top Shelf Partners is hosting back-to-back exclusive conferences: the Commodities Global Expo Washington DC (May 17-19 at the Grand Hyatt) and the Commodities Global Expo Florida (May 20-22 at the oceanfront Four Seasons Ft. Lauderdale).
100% Accredited Investor Focus: Unlike massive, retail-heavy trade shows, these events are curated specifically for accredited investors, hedge funds, family offices, and financial advisors actively allocating capital to the commodities sector.
Guaranteed 1-on-1 Access: The core value proposition is the pre-scheduled 20-25 minute private meetings with the CEOs and senior management of over 40 rigorously vetted resource companies.
World-Class Keynote Speakers: The lineup features industry heavyweights including John Feneck (Feneck Consulting), Mike McGlone (Bloomberg Intelligence), Major General James A. Marks, and numerous successful mining and finance executives.
EXCLUSIVE METALS AND MINERS GIVEAWAY: We have secured THREE FREE VIRTUAL TICKETS to these events. We are giving them away on a first-come, first-served basis to anyone who upgrades to an Annual Paid Metals and Miners Subscription today. Do not miss this awesome opportunity!
So, let’s dig in…
The Ultimate Venue for Capital and Opportunity to Meet
Top Shelf Partners has been connecting companies and affluent investors since 1994. Their events are not designed to be crowded, noisy convention floors where you collect brochures. They are highly structured, invitation-only environments built entirely around productive capital allocation.
The upcoming May 2026 expos offer two distinct geographical opportunities, separated by just a two-and-a-half-hour direct flight. The Washington DC event (May 17-19) takes place at the newly renovated Grand Hyatt, placing attendees in the heart of the nation’s capital, close to policy-makers and institutional capital.
Immediately following, the Florida event (May 20-22) shifts to the luxurious, five-diamond Four Seasons in Ft. Lauderdale, offering a spectacular oceanfront setting for high-level networking.
What makes these events truly unique is the attendee profile. The 2024 Commodities Global Expo was the only mining conference in recent years that featured an audience comprised of 100% accredited investors.
As the data shows, the capital in the room is substantial. With representatives from hedge funds, private equity firms, mutual funds, and high-net-worth retail investors managing billions in assets, the companies presenting at these expos are speaking directly to the people who can move markets.
For an individual accredited investor, being in this room means you are evaluating opportunities alongside the smart money.
The Power of the 1-on-1 Meeting
The defining feature of the Commodities Global Expo is the structured 1-on-1 meeting format. While keynote speeches and corporate presentations are valuable for high-level overviews, the real due diligence happens behind closed doors.
Qualified investors who attend are expected to participate in pre-scheduled, 20-to-25-minute private meetings with company executives. This is your opportunity to look a CEO in the eye, ask the hard questions about their balance sheet, probe their exploration strategy, and assess their capital discipline.
In a sector as volatile and complex as mining, management is often the deciding factor between a multi-bagger return and a total loss. You cannot evaluate management by reading a press release; you have to speak with them directly and this is the opportunity.
For the companies, the value is equally clear. They are guaranteed face time with pre-screened investors who are actively looking to deploy capital. Furthermore, participating companies receive professionally edited video interviews for their own marketing, and gain immense visibility through networking receptions and formal dinners.
With the first live conference event quickly approaching on May 17th, 2026, companies and investors alike must secure their spots quickly. Better yet, be one of the first three to convert to an annual Metals and Miners subscription and you will be given a free ticket to attend.
A Roster of Industry Heavyweights
An investment conference is only as good as the insights it provides, and Top Shelf Partners has assembled a formidable roster of keynote speakers and presenting executives for the May 2026 events.
Attendees will hear from macroeconomic experts and seasoned investors who understand the current commodity supercycle intimately. The lineup includes but is not limited to:
John Feneck (Feneck Consulting): A former senior executive at Merrill Lynch and JP Morgan Chase, and a renowned precious metals portfolio manager known for his proprietary technical and fundamental methodology.
Mike McGlone (Bloomberg Intelligence): Senior Commodity Strategist with over 25 years of futures and commodity trading experience, providing unparalleled macro context.
Abigail Hunter (SAFE Center for Critical Minerals Strategy): A recognized authority on critical minerals policy and geopolitics, offering crucial insights into the supply chain security issues driving the market.
Major General James A. Marks: Providing high-level national security context, which is increasingly relevant as commodities become weaponized on the global stage.
In addition to these macro thinkers, the expos will feature presentations from the CEOs of over 40 curated companies, including leaders from NexGold, Stillwater Critical Minerals, Aftermath Silver, Triumph Gold, Power Metallic Mines, Rua Gold, Denarius Metals, First Tellurium, Silver47, 1911 Gold, and Spartan Metals Corp. to name a few.
With gold and silver near all-time highs, there are very few high-quality U.S. conferences scheduled between now and the end of the year. This is the moment to get positioned.

@metalsandminers I’m trying to upgrade my subscription to annual but I can’t find an option to do that.
