Break out of the echo chamber at Resourcing Tomorrow
The key theme for this year’s event is “Breaking Out of the Echo Chamber,” as the mining sector has a unique opportunity to lead the global shift by forging new partnerships with governments, energy companies and original equipment manufacturers.
“Resourcing Tomorrow aims to unite the efforts of the mining industry and their broader partners in accelerating the path to net zero,” Resourcing Tomorrow Divisional Director Andrew Thake said during the conference’s program release.
“By initiating a discussion that reaches beyond the conventional mining industry, we create the foundation for a more coordinated, collaborative and successful response to the challenges presented by the energy transition.”
This year’s comprehensive program will feature three simultaneous theaters covering the entire mining value chain over the course of three days.
The event will host over 250 speakers, including keynote presentations from figures such as:
