Join us to explore key issues including:

• Miners are leaner and meaner, with balance sheets cleaner, but are they more agile and ready to deliver better capital returns over the next decade? What are the critical areas of operational excellence, and what does excellence look like?

• How are miners adapting to an era of rapid technological, social and geopolitical change?

• How well are miners equipped to deal with the automation of mines and what impact will this have on current and future mine development?

• How should companies think about upskilling the workforce for digitisation- recruiting, retaining and training new and current talent

Other topics will include: blockchain, AI, visualisation, 3D mine mapping, fast data management, real time analysis, social licence to operate and energy efficiency.
