New Leaders Conference

Last week I attended the Ausimm (Australian Insititute of mining & metallurgy) New Leaders conference. This conference presents information about opportunities in the resources industry, as well as technical papers related to certain fields. For example, this year there were presentations about climate change, mine design & specific types of jobs within the industry. The conference is a good opportunity to learn about new developments, as well as hear interesting debates (especially in regards to the climate change issue). This is the second time I have attended the conference, and as always it has benefitted me. The first day of the conference culminated with a welcome function hosted by Thiess on the Island party boat, whilst for the second night, I had too much study to do to attend those activities.
