Workshop
Creation of working groups, based on the ‘hotspots’ identified in Hugh Durrant-Whyte’s research, and agreement of the IoT Cluster focus in the short- to medium-term will be the focus of the end-of-session workshop.
The mining and energy resources sector faces ongoing market challenges – and you are invited to help develop the way forward for this sector.
Be part of the solution
Building on the success of our inaugural workshop in March this year, the AIIA IoT Cluster for Mining and Energy Resources is once again bringing together key ICT players from across the internet of things spectrum, as we develop IoT solutions to the challenges facing the mining and energy resources sector.
What to expect
Come along and hear directly from participants in mining and energy resources as we explore the challenges, current technology solutions, innovation and opportunities. Find out more about the results of the AIIA’s recent market research. And team up with your peers to delve deeper into the “hotspot themes” for the sector and develop potential IoT solutions.
Who should attend
This event has been developed for those in …
- ICT
- mining and energy resources
- operations
- business development
- … as well as strategists and executives.
Don’t miss your opportunity to join with your peers, as we help shape the future direction and strategy of this group – and future opportunities for the Mining & Energy Resources sector.
