With over 200 professionals expected to be in attendance, it will cover a vast range of content spanning right across the entire mining life cycle with technology, automation development and sustainability at its core. The agenda focuses on areas of development and the challenges ahead as mining begins to look beyond the now and plan for the future.

Key questions the conference will seek to answer include:

- Overcoming a Lack of Trust: Securing Social License to Operate:
What events drive society's views of mining?

- Adapting to Survive: How can Miners Integrate an Effective Digital Strategy into their Operations?
How do you manage digitisation when parts of a mining organisation are so different?

- Stronger Together: The Need for industry collaboration: Why do European miners take a more open approach to collaboration than miners in other regions?

- From Minecraft to Mineshaft: Engaging with the Next Generation of Talent
How real is the risk of falling short in the quest for new industry talent?

- Softening the blow of Automation: How great an impact will automation have on the existing mining workforce in EMEA?

The conference is well supported by solution providers including Proudfoot and OIM and for those who are interested in discussing new ideas, concepts and strategies; the Future of Mining is a great opportunity for those conversations and connections.

This brand new addition to the Future of Mining conference series builds upon the successful
