Australia's mining sector has long been recognised as a global leader in innovation, automation and operational excellence. In 2026, the challenge is no longer identifying digital opportunities—it is scaling artificial intelligence, automation and connected operations to deliver measurable business value.
Digitalisation & AI in Mining Australia brings together mining executives, operational leaders, OEMs, METS companies, technology providers and industry innovators to explore how AI, automation, advanced analytics and digital technologies are transforming the modern mine.
Across two days, delegates will hear operator-led case studies and practical implementation stories covering AI, digital twins, predictive maintenance, autonomous operations, OT/IT integration, cybersecurity, workforce transformation and smart mining. The conference focuses on practical lessons learned and measurable outcomes rather than theory.
Whether you are building a digital roadmap, implementing AI solutions or modernising mining operations, this conference provides the insights, industry connections and proven strategies needed to accelerate digital transformation.
Join the leaders shaping the future of digital mining in Australia.
