Aiming to dig deeper into the catalysts and trends that are redefining the mining industry, Future of Mining Americas offers a line-up of expert speakers and keynote panellists, covering a wide range of themes from mining disruption to innovation around social licence.

On the first day, among others, we will be hearing from Anglo American's Arun Narayanan on ‘The Data Chain - Understanding the Value of Data Capture, Interpretation and Communication for Swift Decision Making'; Torex Gold Resources' Nelson Bodnarchuk on ‘Reporting, Transparency and Accountability -The Importance of Connectivity'; and Proudfoot's Jon Wylie on ‘Improving Net Present Value - How do you keep a $5.6 Billion Investment on Track?'.

In the run-up to the event, Mining Magazine has already been talking to some of companies and presenters involved to get some further insight into the issues that will be discussed - read our coverage here.
