About
The Conference
| Conference Theme |
|
Australians have developed a reputation for innovation in many industries over the past 200 years, ranging from the stump jump
plough in agriculture to the glass earth exploration technique for mining.
But as one of the world’s leading miners it is in this industry that Australia has really excelled in new technology, particularly in software
development, and the country now exports more than $2 billion of mining technology each year.
RIU Conferences is now pleased to announce the inaugural RIU Breaking New Ground Conference to examine the latest technology
available and its application in the field and provide networking opportunities for the exchange of the latest technical information.
The conference will have a main auditorium and two breakout rooms providing individual forums for the following:
