to be recognised on the world stage and partnering with us for the inaugural event . It is key to work together to promote events like Smart Mining 1.0 and so I extend a big thank you to all of our event sponsors for making this possible as well as our speakers - I couldn ’ t be happier with the line-up .
Tell us more about the core idea behind Smart Mining 1.0 ? There couldn ’ t be a more exciting time for the mining industry than right now . Technology is evolving at a greater pace than we could ever have anticipated , and for mining to keep up it is important to innovate and be “ S . M . A . R . T .” Innovation is not just about technology ; it ’ s about changing our mindsets and imaginations .

What is your definition of S . M . A . R . T .? The Smart Mining 1.0 concept came to light through an idea that , in order for mining to transform , targets and visions must be goal “ Specific ”, should be “ Measurable ”, “ Attainable ” and have “ Realistic “ expectations resulting in “ Timely ” growth .
Themed as “ Building Mines of the Future Together ” Smart Mining 1.0 intends to bring the best minds in the business year on year to create a platform for the industry to gain knowledge , learn and network .
