Introduction
GMSG Johannesburg Forum 2017
>>> Collaboration Towards Future Mining
GMSG is hosting a Future Mining Forum in Johannesburg on September 20-21 2017, at the Emperors Palace Hotel Casino Convention Resort. Stakeholders from all mining sectors, including mine operation and planning, equipment and manufacturing, software and IT and engineering are invited to attend.
This two-day interactive forum will align the guideline work of GMSG with the priorities and practices of the South African mining industry. Attendees will hear from industry leaders on important industry topics, including digitization and autonomous mining, and learn about current GMSG projects. They will also participate in breakout sessions on how to eliminate innovation roadblocks and drive the industry forward.
Space is limited due to room size, therefore we ask that you please RSVP no later than September 15, 2017 to Gugulethu Charlie at gugu@saimm.co.za
For more information about GMSG forums, contact Heather Ednie at hednie@globalminingstandards.org
