Participants can join the round table of their choice. Each roundtable leader will spend the first 10 minutes on a case study, lessons learned, or industry update. This will be followed by a 30-minute open discussion with all participants, moderated by the leader. The final 5 minutes will be used to identify 3-5 industry recommendations resulting from the group discussion. Key recommendations will be shared with the entire audience, and all roundtable recommendations will be included in the post-event report.  

• Governing AI at Scale – Building the AI Control Plane for Mining: Explore how mining companies can create a secure, governed layer for managing AI models, agents and data across the enterprise. Discuss how to bring structured data, unstructured information, and third-party sources together while maintaining control, security, auditability, and accountability as AI adoption accelerates.  Roundtable Leader: Kyle Evans, Enterprise Account Executive, Snowflake 

• From Remote Visibility to Decision Intelligence – What’s Next for Mining Operations? As mining companies move from connectivity and remote operations towards AI-driven decision-making and autonomy, this roundtable will explore where the industry is on the maturity curve, what barriers remain, which decisions still rely on tribal knowledge, and where AI can realistically support operations over the next 3–5 years. Roundtable Leader: Mark Chan Yan, Head of Digital Solutions, Yokogawa Australia Pty. Ltd. 

• Roundtable: Building Trusted Communications Infrastructure Foundations for the Intelligent Mine: As mining operations become increasingly connected, autonomous and AI-enabled, reliable communications infrastructure is essential. This roundtable will explore how mining companies can build secure, resilient and scalable networks to support real time data exchange, remote operations and intelligent decision-making across the mine. Roundtable Leader: Graham Allan, Head of Solutions Australia & New Zealand, Orange Business 

• From Siloed Data to Situational Awareness – Making Digital Twins Operationally Useful in Mining: Digital twins promise greater visibility across mining operations, but fragmented data and limited integration often prevent them from delivering real operational value. This roundtable will explore how mining companies can connect data across systems, improve situational awareness and use digital twins to support better decision-making, operational planning and real-time responses. Roundtable Leader: Sean Helm, Guardian & InDI Value Stream Leader, Sentient 

• From Pilot to Plant-Wide Adoption – Improving the Success Rate of Digitalisation Projects:Implementing AI, IoT and digital technologies in comminution plants often depends on data, sensors and site conditions that may not be in place. This roundtable will explore the barriers to successful implementation and how mining companies can improve data readiness, site preparation and collaboration to increase the chances of success. Roundtable Leader: Arie Araya, ME Digital Deployment Manager, ME Elecmetal 

• From Individual Tasks to End-to-End Execution – Agentic AI in Mining Business Processes: As AI agents become increasingly capable, the opportunity is shifting from automating individual tasks to executing entire business processes. This roundtable will explore how mining companies can use agentic AI to connect workflows, systems and data, where human oversight remains essential, and which business processes are ready for end-to-end execution. Roundtable Leader: Vladimir Vorotilov, Associate, AITAI (Australian Institute of Transformation and AI)
