Mining Goes Digital Conference
Mining Goes Digital Conference
The Mining Goes Digital Conference offers an international platform for discussing the prospects for industrial transformation in the mining and metallurgical sectors using digital solutions and Industry 4.0 technologies.
The Conference will be held on 6-7 October 2021 in Moscow as part of the MINEX Russia Forum
Address: Radisson Slavyanskaya Hotel and Business Centre, 2 Europe Square, Moscow, 121059, Russia
Industry transformation
Mining industry plays a key role in global production. The core sectors of the economy depend on minerals extraction, including energy, agriculture and food industries, construction, transport, mechanical engineering, communications, etc.
We are currently experiencing an era of tectonic changes, multiply accelerated by the coronavirus pandemic. The world financial and economic system, last reorganised in the middle of the 20th century, is unable to effectively address the challenges facing humanity. Its restructuring or, possibly, full re-set is coming.
The development of technologies “Industry 4.0” before our eyes is making a revolution, changing the role and place of man in industrial production. The real threat of irreversible climate change requires an urgent reduction in environmental pollution.
The solution to all these problems is impossible without mineral raw materials and metals. Taking into account the tendency of reduction in proven reserves and decrease of ore quality, a fundamental transformation of the mining industry at all levels is necessary for sustainable provision of metals and minerals for industries.
The mining industry today is complex, multifaceted, and interconnected. When developing new forms of business organisation and making changes, it is important to avoid costly mistakes.
Only by combining the intellectual resources of specialists from all strata of the professional society, it is possible to assess the risks and make competent decisions.
About the conference
The goal of the conference is to discuss the ongoing transformations which are shaping safer, smarter, more sustainable, and efficient mining and metals industry.
Target audience
The conference is aimed at senior executives, operations directors, development directors, CIOs and digital transformation and automation specialists working in the extractive and energy industries.
Conference format
The conference is organised in a hybrid format that combines physical and remote (online) participation. Thanks to the hybrid event technology, conference participants will be able to listen to presentations and ask questions to presenters speaking both at the physical venue in Moscow and remotely. This technology also makes it possible to organise simultaneous translation from Russian and English for both offline and online participants. To facilitate business networking and scheduling meetings, participants will be provided with access to a web-based application.
