Exciting opportunity for young professionals to shape their future at AusIMM’s New Leaders Conference
AusIMM’s New Leaders Conference returns in September 2021 with a unique opportunity for young mining professionals to kickstart their career in the resources sector.
Held in Brisbane and online, the conference theme is ‘Champions of Change’, inspiring students, graduates, and young mining professionals to act boldly and have a positive impact on the industry and their communities. Over two days, the conference will allow delegates to learn from and engage with industry experts and motivating speakers.
AusIMM’s hybrid platform will allow online access to delegates interstate, overseas or on-site to engage with presentations, on-demand content and discussions on current and future issues impacting young professionals in the mining industry.
Attendees will benefit from a range of topics including leadership growth and development, diversity and inclusion, social and environmental impacts, safety leadership and mental health, and technology and innovation.
Delegates will be able to build meaningful relationships early in their careers with face-to-face networking functions and the chance to interact with other attendees online via chat, video call, virtual one-on-one meetings and discussion groups.
