3 Featured Tracks

Artificial Intelligence
& Data in Mining

The Artificial Intelligence and data session will highlight the importance of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and data for the mining industry - including helping companies with mineral exploration, site selection, sorting, transportation, operations, value chain management, and increased safety.
The session will include strategic insights, case studies, technology spotlights, and panels. In addition, it will take a deep dive into application areas and explain the benefits of machine learning for your business, new technologies and innovation available, and much more.

Robotics & Automation
in Mining

Robotics and Automation in the mining sector are crucial to reducing costs, saving time, and increasing productivity and operational efficiency.

It is, without a doubt, a key ingredient in the digital transformation of the mining industry. 

The robotics and automation session is an opportunity to hear real-life case studies, strategic insights, and technology spotlights directly from the source.

ESG Tech in Mining
 

Technology is the key differentiator in a company's ESG strategy and success. The right technology and innovation can help a company improve energy consumption, waste management, and sustainable operations, attract investors, reduce costs, and build customer loyalty, and much more.    

This session will bring you all you need to know about the various ESG technologies through case studies, panel discussions, and strategic insights. Topics include Electrification and Alternative Fuel Solutions in Mining, Mine Closure Planning, Decarbonisation, and much more.
