Understanding the Impact of ESG and How to Improve the Quality of ESG Information


This webinar will help you understand Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) and the benefit of an independent perspective on your sustainability reporting and processes.
 
ESG criteria impact all companies, across various industries, including corporations, investors and rating agencies. Corporates utilize ESG information for decision making and stakeholder communication. The ESG information disclosed to the public has been widely used by investors and ESG data providers. However, companies vary in maturity when it comes to controlling the production of ESG information, which leads to a big challenge for all the players in the market – the quality of ESG data.
 
To enhance the confidence of stakeholders, including investors, employees and customers, a third-party expert view becomes desirable to add credibility and reliability to ESG data. As a result, much guidance has been published recently on independent assurance.

ExpoSolar Colombia 2021


After the coronavirus, the sun will continue up there, our mission is to continue with the energy transition
 
ExpoSolar Colombia is a fair for solar thermal and photovoltaic energy, LED lighting, energy efficiency and electric mobility, which sees in this nascent sector a great revitalizing axis of the economy and sustainable development of Colombia.
 
It is conceived as a national and international fair and its purpose is to bring together the academy, businessmen, distributors, government, project promoters and the general public.
 
Expo Solar Colombia hybrid 2021, considered the business hub for Latin America and the Caribbean, ventures into the new concept for today's fair events (hybrids), which consists of offering both exhibitors and visitors the option to participate in 3 modalities: Face-to-face, virtual or in both simultaneously. On the one hand, we will return to the face-to-face option and the physical display of products and services at the Plaza Mayor International Convention and Exhibition Center fairgrounds in the city of Medellín, and on the other, we will take advantage of the internet as an alternative and innovative medium within of online marketing to provide the best opportunity to expand the economic frontiers and network of the solar energy sector.
 
This innovative in-person + virtual proposal emerged since last August in the IV version of 2020 under the slogan "After the coronavirus, the sun will continue up there, our mission is to continue with the energy transition." Philosophy that prompted us to develop our own digital platform, whose characteristics we narrate in the following video, which as an added value has the success obtained in the digital-only version of the previous year where we managed to quintuple the figures of the different components of the immediately previous fair , thus managing to break many paradigms about virtual fairs and exceed all expectations by emulating the activities of the face-to-face fair.

Web-Seminar on New Liquid Gap Filler


Learn about Henkel's newest Thermal Interface Material (TIM), its design rules and tailored process technology for automated mass production
 
To save valuable space inside vehicle designs, engineers are constantly seeking to miniaturize components, including power electronics such as inverters and on-board chargers. At the same time, power electronics are not only becoming smaller, but also more powerful, as proven by next-generation ADAS systems. Both trends are making thermal management an even higher priority as larger amounts of heat are being released while less surface area is available to act as a heat sink.
 
Recognizing this market trend towards small-sized, high power density automotive electronics, Henkel developed a new liquid Gap Filler technology that is able to dissipate heat with an unchallenged 7 W/mK.  In addition, with a dispense of rate of up to 18 g/sec, the material is also suitable for mass production.
 
During this web-seminar, our speakers from Henkel, ZFW (Zentrum für Wärmemanagement) and bdtronic (Dispensing Systems) provide:
 
An introduction to the BERGQUIST TGF7000 (liquid Gap Filler with 7 W/mK), the design considerations and building blocks to reach up to 18 g/sec dispense rate (Henkel)
An overview of the testing methods, failure mechanisms and design rules, as well as an application thereof to TGF7000 (ZFW)
An understanding of how to enable fully automated  taylored dispensing technology or large-scale production (bdtronic)
Join our speakers Stephan Hoefer (Henkel), Holger Schuh (Henkel), Florian Schütz (bdtronic) and Robert Liebchen (ZFW) to learn more about this innovation.

International Lineman Rodeo 2021


Location: Overland Park , KS
Venue: Overland Park Convention Center , 6000 College Blvd, Booth #322
 
The Lineman’s Rodeo attracts the best linemen from around the world to compete in events based on traditional lineman tasks and skills. The first Lineman’s Rodeo was held in September 1984, with twelve participating teams from Kansas and Missouri. The Rodeo has grown to over 200 teams and 300 apprentices. Many of the skills required in the competition are less frequently used currently but still critical line skills like climbing, working off a pole, and work tasks using hot sticks rather than gloves. These opportunities for linemen to enhance their skills and keep them fresh make them more productive all while keeping safe during the competition at the forefront.

Pole Top Rescue Competition 2021


The Pole Top Rescue Competition became part of the Governor’s Industrial Safety and Health Conference in 1973 to teach people about proper rescue techniques. Teams of linemen from the electrical utility industry compete for honors in rescuing a victim from a utility pole in a mock industrial accident. Three judges are chosen by members of the conference’s electrical utility planning committee.
 
The preliminary competition will be held Tuesday before the main Conference with the top four teams competing at the finals during the Conference on Wednesday. Just before the final competition, teams are given a “problem” or situation that makes the rescue more difficult and requires the teams to think about the safest and most effective way to rescue the victim.

Digital Transformation in Mining and Metallurgical Industrial Complexes
 
Abstract:
Ores are becoming extremely variable with mineralogy and hardness disturbing the integrated crushing, grinding, flotation, and thickening processes. The current grinding and flotation sensors provide large amounts of data for process optimization. To augment the operational knowledge for proactive actions for improving the performance of the grinding and flotation circuits, we need to add the right process knowledge context and operational modes.
 
Without these proper operational contexts in place, the results are unmanaged downtime, process troubles, maintenance interruptions, and unmet production schedules. By measuring operational modes and managing these unproductive times (trouble times), people can find new ways of improving profitability and efficiency of the plant. The inFORMAtion (inSHAPEtion) created by the real-time analytics enables us to calculate the metal recovery in real time and to develop predictive analytic models to secure the best operating conditions based on the type of ore currently mined. Using the latest tools and cloud computing enables the creation of new workflows and collaboration between mining, concentrator plants, and the enterprise, including services providers.
 
Machine learning pervades our culture in a multitude of ways, from medical diagnosis and data management to speech synthesis and search engines. The novel approach of using machine-learning techniques coupled with dynamic process models in grinding, such as Dynamill™ and Dynaflote™, a new operational integrated grinding model is realized and implemented.
 
These days of remote operations utilizing the capability to integrate mining operations from drilling to product delivery is an industry boon. With mines in inconvenient, out-of-the-way locations, people can now work from home, remotely supporting operations and staying safe and healthy during these challenging times. Today, subject matter experts (SMEs) can increase productivity by developing predictive models to classify the operating conditions owing to large variations in ores, catching the hidden production, energy, and water losses by ore type and unmeasured disturbances. People call this a “follow the money” strategy, the ability to survive and adapt to these unforeseen forcing factors affecting the communities and support.

SAIMM DIMI CONFERENCE 2021


Empowering the African minerals industry through diversity and inclusion
3-4 AUGUST 2021, RIVERSANDS CANVAS, FOURWAYS, GAUTENG
 
The SAIMM through its committee for Diversity and Inclusion in the Minerals Industry (DIMI) and in collaboration with Women in Mining South Africa (WiMSA) is excited to announce its first ever conference focusing on the issues of diversity and inclusion in the mining and minerals industry.
 
The Southern African Mining sector, just like the global mining industry, still faces huge challenges when it comes to diversity and inclusivity in the workplace. While the landscape might be changing due to a lot of companies becoming more aware of the need for a more representative and diverse workforce, there is still a lot to be done. Beside issues of gender disparity in the industry, safe spaces in the workplace, protective equipment, sanitation facilities, pregnancy and childcare facilities for women are some of the challenges that continue to plague the sector. The industry also needs to go beyond workforce diversity to inclusion. Identifying individuals from different geographic, gender, economic and cultural groups, creating safe spaces for them, providing support for them to grow into their roles and creating conditions that promote inclusion on a daily basis can go a long way in retaining and advancing the careers of these individuals and hence contribute to the long term growth of the mining sector. There is thus, a need for platforms that allow for discussions that can lead to the development of strategies for advancing and encouraging decisions that are in the best interest of a diverse workforce.
 
WHY YOU SHOULD NOT MISS THIS EVENT
 
Professionals from the mining and minerals industry and related business sectors are encouraged to attend. The aim of the event is to:
 
Highlight the challenges and benefits associated with an inclusive and diverse workforce.
Provide an excellent opportunity for the industry eaders and professionals, policy makers, researchers and academics and other stakeholders who are driving strategies that promote diversity and inclusion in the mining and minerals industry to come together to openly debate, deliberate and interrogate the current landscape in this regard.
Provide a forum for professionals working in the field to celebrate achievements, share experiences and thus empower others in the field.
Uncover challenges and approaches to attracting and retaining a diverse future workforce, and
Collectively empower and transform the industry.
 
FORMAT OF THE EVENT
 
At this point in time, the event is planned as a hybrid conference with international participation, which will allow for face-to-face and online attendance and presentations. We will monitor the situation, and if it appears that the effects of the pandemic still pose a threat to the health and safety of delegates, or restrictions are lifted to allow for more face-toface participation and international travel, the event delivery method will be adjusted accordingly. Please submit your abstracts and papers as these will be peer reviewed and published. High quality papers will also be selected for publication in a special edition of the SAIMM Journal.

Knowledge Exchange Webinar


Exploration expenditure has significantly increased since 2010, shifting to deeper domains readily available discoveries are progressively exhausted. In the same period, the industry discovery rate has decreased by more than 50 percent, putting forward the question “are we using a fully optimized targeting process?” In 2016, SGS Geological Services team lead by Guy Desharnais, won the Integra Goldrush Challenge using an innovative combination of mineralized vector load in block
model, filtering it through machine learning algorithms to produce the next generation of exploration targets. This challenge opens the mind of many explorer about the use of new technologies and how to use them efficiently on any type of deposits.
 
For the past decade various types of algorithms, including decision trees and stumps boosting enhanced with domain adaptation, were adapted by the mining industry and used on different global projects for targeting purposes. Phylogenetic algorithms were also integrated into the toolbox to answer questions related to geological uncertainties and rock classification using geochemical dataset. Application are multiple in the mining industry from exploration targeting to block model ore to processing reconciliation. This presentation will focus on exploration targeting with three successful case studies for Gold, PGE and in the Oil and Gas industry, using different algorithms and softwares. Limits of the technique and challenges for the future will also be part of the discussion.
 
Key Learning Outcomes:
 
• Basis understanding of machine learning algorithm
• Machine learning application in mineral exploration
• Benefices for the industry

International Biomass Conference & Expo is the largest, fastest-growing event of its kind. In 2022, this event is expected to draw nearly 800 attendees. In 2020, the event drew more than 800 attendees and doubling the attendance of the inaugural show. This growth is fueled by a world-class Expo and an acclaimed program.
 
Once again, the 2022 International Biomass Conference & Expo program will include 30-plus panels and more than 100 speakers, including 90 technical presentations on topics ranging from anaerobic digestion and gasification to pyrolysis and combined heat and power, all within the structured framework of four customized tracks:
 
Track 1: Pellets & Densified Biomass
Track 2: Biomass Power & Thermal
Track 3: Biogas & Waste-to-Energy
Track 4: Advanced Biofuels & Biobased Chemicals
 
 
International Biomass Conference & Expo will help you – as a biomass industry stakeholder – identify and evaluate technical and economic solutions that fit your operation. It's time to tap into the revenue generating potential of sustainable biomass resources. Get started today by registering for the 2022 International Biomass Conference & Expo!
 
Who Should Attend?
 
The International Biomass Conference & Expo unites current and future producers of biomass-derived power, fuels and chemicals with waste generators, energy crop growers, municipal leaders, utility executives, technology providers, equipment manufacturers, project developers, investors and policy makers. The event fosters public and private partnerships that help bioenergy producers and large-scale waste generators identify and assess available production resources and viable technology solutions for improving operational efficiencies and reducing industrial greenhouse gas emissions. Volatile energy costs, mounting climate change concerns and the anticipation of federal carbon cap-and-trade policies are compelling waste generators to think differently – much differently – about waste liabilities and, in some cases, the rising value of already valuable process side streams.
 
At the International Biomass Conference & Expo, you'll network with:
 
Existing and future bioenergy, and bioproduct producers
Economic development, finance and lending professionals
Scientists, academics and researchers
Public works directors
Waste/wastewater facility managers
Commercial food and beverage processors
Managers of institutional food waste
Animal processing facility managers
Growers and cooperative board members
Crop technology experts
Livestock and poultry owner/operators
Forestry managers
Wood waste handlers
Saw mill operators
Pulp and paper manufacturing managers
Logging operation operators
Wood processing operators
Pelleting operations managers
Utility executives and managers
Power, distributed power and district energy executives and managers
Suppliers, technology service providers
Equipment manufacturers
And more!
 
Who Should Exhibit?
 
The International Biomass Conference & Expo is the largest gathering of private and public sector biomass professionals in the world. Already, millions of tons of rural and organic residues – ag and industrial wastes – are being repurposed as high-value, low-carbon biomass feedstocks. Your customers will be here seeking tailored solutions to the unique challenges they face. Attendees will include current and future producers of biomass-derived power, fuels and chemicals with waste generators, energy crop growers, municipal leaders, utility executives, technology providers, equipment manufacturers, project developers, investors and policy makers. Demonstrate your commitment to the rapidly expanding biomass industry and plan to exhibit at this once-a-year opportunity.

12 Steps to Establishing Leadership Presence


How are you going to be recognized as a leader in your field, your company, or your organization? The 12 Steps to establishing Leadership Presence can show you how to project and demonstrate the leadership presence needed to gain influence and to positively impact your workplace.
 
Leadership presence involves being prepared, demonstrating professionalism and having the ability to take command of a room; it involves assuming a leadership role amongst various audiences, sharing your thoughts and opinions with confidence, and striking a balance between talking and listening such that your communication style is both persuasive and impactful.
 
Whether you are in safety, operations, project management or any other field, establishing a leadership presence is integral to growing your influence with others to be put in positions where you can impact your personal growth, your company, your business and the world around you in general.
 
This online 12 Steps to Establishing Leadership Presence course is designed to complement the BIS platforms’ Leadership for Safety online course. Whereas Leadership for Safety explores the foundational, contemporary leadership principles required for existing Safety Leaders in the workplace, these 12 Steps are designed to provide learners with the mandatory tools needed to attain leadership positions that exist above their current role.
 
This course is designed for employees looking to improve their reputation, social influence and ultimately their position in the organizational hierarchy. These 12 Steps are essential for every position in the organization, but especially for safety leaders / potential safety leaders who are looking to be taken seriously in the workplace; in order to use their influence to enhance their workplace safety culture.
 
After completing this course, learners will understand the importance of:
 
Appearance: Dressing for success. Dressing for the position you desire; not for the position you currently have.
 
Punctuality: Punctuality is tantamount to respect. Being on time or even early, demonstrates your commitment to the meeting you are attending and shows respect for other attendees.
 
Time Management: Strategies for managing time amidst a sea of tasks and distractions.
 
Motivation & Focus: Goals need philosophical, emotional and motivational “FUEL” to remain on track. With the myriad of distractions, fun activities and/or setbacks constantly working against our goals, we need to recharge our motivational FUEL cells from time to time to stay on track.
 
Preparation: Looking knowledgeable, “on-the-spot” to senior managers that you would like to influence takes preparation. Whether it be for upcoming interviews, meetings, presentations (that you are giving) or any other situation where you might be tested, you must be prepared.
 
Relationships and Communication: Communicating well and treating others with respect and dignity at all times is one of the best ways to establish Leadership Presence.
 
Likeability: You cannot build the social influence needed to establish Leadership Presence with co-workers, clients and senior managers if you do not treat people with respect or say and do positive, kind, and thoughtful things regularly.
 
Being Informed; Staying Current: Being informed on the popular issues of our time e.g., Economy, Safety, Environment, Diversity & Inclusion, LGTBQ2 etc. helps you demonstrate to others that you are up-to-date on the hot button issues facing leadership teams in the workplace.
 
Competence: Competence is the MOST IMPORTANT ATTRIBUTE to establishing Leadership Presence. Far too many incompetent poseurs, impostors and pretenders are “all sizzle, no steak”.
 
Networking & Collaboration: Ingratiate yourself to others. Link up with people in your field, share information and knowledge with them to establish rapport which can then lead to long term professional relationships based on trust.

The inaugural installment of the congress brings together the expertise of eight leading engineering professional societies and the National Academies to offer a dynamic, cross-sector learning and networking opportunity that addresses shared safety challenges.
 
Most safety and risk practices are not proprietary, and many can be applied in an array of settings and situations. However, no space has existed where decision-makers from different industries, academic institutions, and government agencies and laboratories could share best practices, with the objective of identifying core safety principles that can benefit all. Until now.
 
The Congress on Safety in Engineering and Industry 2021 (Safety Congress 2021) offers you that opportunity to convene with leadership across industries and the breadth of science and engineering disciplines to gain cutting edge insights that you can implement in your own organization. The benefits of participation will continue long after the event adjourns as you extend your network to new colleagues and perspectives beyond your current frame of reference.
 
In keeping with its multi-industry approach, Safety Congress 2021 is envisioned to support a broad cross-section of management and safety professionals in expanding their skill sets for the advancement of their organizations—and themselves. “Leading Safety into the Future” is the theme for Safety Congress 2021.

Congress on Safety in Engineering and Industry 2021


Leading Safety into the Future
 
Join leaders across industries and the breadth of science and engineering disciplines to address shared safety challenges.
 
November 1–3, 2021 • Sheraton Fort Worth Downtown Hotel • Fort Worth, Texas, USA
 
The inaugural installment of the congress brings together the expertise of eight leading engineering professional societies and the National Academies to offer a dynamic, cross-sector learning and networking opportunity that addresses shared safety challenges.
 
Most safety and risk practices are not proprietary, and many can be applied in an array of settings and situations. However, no space has existed where decision-makers from different industries, academic institutions, and government agencies and laboratories could share best practices, with the objective of identifying core safety principles that can benefit all. Until now.
 
The Congress on Safety in Engineering and Industry 2021 (Safety Congress 2021) offers you that opportunity to convene with leadership across industries and the breadth of science and engineering disciplines to gain cutting edge insights that you can implement in your own organization. The benefits of participation will continue long after the event adjourns as you extend your network to new colleagues and perspectives beyond your current frame of reference.
 
In keeping with its multi-industry approach, Safety Congress 2021 is envisioned to support a broad cross-section of management and safety professionals in expanding their skill sets for the advancement of their organizations—and themselves. “Leading Safety into the Future” is the theme for Safety Congress 2021.

Africa Down Under Conference


We are delighted to announce that the 19th edition of Africa Down Under (ADU) will be held 1-3 September at the Pan Pacific, Perth.  ADU will proceed in its traditional format in Perth with live presentations, face-to-face meetings and networking.  Virtual access including live streaming will be made available for all companies and stakeholders based offshore who are unable to travel to Australia due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.
 
ADU is the leading forum for Australian-African business and government relations and was first launched to raise awareness of Australia’s interests in African mining and energy. The three day meeting has evolved to become the largest African-focused mining event held outside the continent itself which is reflected by the number of high-profile participants who attend each year.
 
Since our inaugural conference in 2003, ADU has showcased many success stories about Australian companies and organisations working across Africa. ADU is a must attend event for those with projects in Africa and for people and companies interested in investing or doing business in Africa.
 
In addition to creating a melting pot for pro Africa-Australia relations, ADU forms the principal pillar of “Africa Week”, Australia’s week long celebration of the strong and growing business, social and cultural ties between Australia and the entire African continent. “Africa Week” comprises a full week of satellite events on research, education, infrastructure, sustainable development, capacity building, energy, movies and the arts.
 
Join us on 1 – 3 September 2021 for the 19th edition of ADU, when Perth once again asserts its position as a global capital for African mining, as well as the driving force of African-Australian relations.

Speakers discussed the current challenges and opportunities in the industry, including the impact of Covid-19 and other macroeconomic and political factors, how different commodities and sectors are recovering, current energy challenges, the shift towards digital technologies, the investment landscape, ESG and much, much more.
 
Despite the fact that the impact of current global events on the mining industry is still unfolding, there were very constructive discussions around what Government and industry need to do to address the significant repercussions of the pandemic, reinvigorate the sector and provide incentives to encourage local and foreign investment. 
 
It was really heartening to learn how the industry and all its stakeholders have come together to fight the pandemic and the positive comments from senior government representatives regarding developments to reinvigorate the sector, in particular the announcement of an exploration strategy due in early 2021. Plus, we were privileged to hear the insights from international mining leaders such as Sir Mick Davis, Mark Cutifani and Mark Bristow. Overall, the sentiment in the industry seems to be cautiously optimistic, which bodes well for the future. 
 
At Resources for Africa, we are looking forward to welcoming you back in 2021, hopefully in person, on 6th and 7th October, for more frank, open and honest discussions around the current state of the mining sector and how all stakeholders can work together to keep the industry moving forward.

The Coal Industry Day


Brought to you by Resources for Africa, the organisers of the Joburg Indaba, the 3rd edition of the Coal Industry Day is taking place as a virtual discussion on Tuesday 27th July. This year’s event will focus on the current challenges facing the industry, including the future of coal given the increasing environmental pressures and how to achieve a just energy transition for the Southern African coal mining industry, given these pressures as well as social and economic impacts.
 
The ongoing effects of Covid-19 on the industry, funding for coal projects, the local and export coal markets, Eskom’s current and future strategies and coal producers’ strategies will all be addressed.
 
Industry leaders from coal miners, buyers, traders, investors and funders, environmental and legal experts, business organisations and independent consultants will discuss key issues such as:
 
Why we need to change the narrative about coal
The global outlook for coal post-Covid-19
The changing face of the Southern African coal and energy market
What is Eskom’s perspective on the role of coal in South Africa’s future energy mix?
How are coal producers responding to changing market conditions?
The future of funding for coal projects
Local and international demand for coal in a post-Covid-19 world
The just energy transition: how can Southern Africa move away from coal to cleaner energy sources?
What is being done to create ‘green coal’ throughout the value chain?
And much more...

Steel Decarbonisation Strategies 2021


CRU is holding a Steel Decarbonisation Strategies 2021 Virtual Conference on June 29 - July 1 2021. This inaugural, strategic event will bring together policy makers, financiers, consumers, and leaders from across the supply chain and around the world. The conference will define the green steel challenge, discuss the decisions that need to be made across the sector, examine available solutions that currently exist, and the policy and finance support required to make them possible.
 
Given the importance of the subject matter, IIMA is supporting the event, and Secretary General, John Atherton will be speaking at a policy panel discussion. In addition, 3 IIMA members will be participating as keynote speakers.
 
Lourenco Goncalves, Chairman, President, and CEO, Cleveland-Cliffs Inc
Pinakin Chaubal, Group Chief Technology Officer, ArcelorMittal
Huw McKay, Vice President, Market Analysis and Economics, Chief Economist, BHP
Vale and Tenova will also have speakers at the conference.
 
Steel, whilst critical to modern society, also accounts for c.8% of the world’s carbon emissions. To achieve a net-zero carbon economy in the next 30 years, policymakers, mining companies, steel producers and end-users must work together to understand and eradicate all three scopes of emissions from across the entire steel value chain.
 
How will this work in practice? A combination of advanced mining technologies; green hydrogen-based steelmaking; and carbon capture/utilisation technologies may achieve a decarbonised steel value chain, but a truly net-zero global roadmap will also require optimisation of existing processes and feedstocks.
 
Additionally, new technical solutions must be considered alongside the challenge of designing policy and finance models that will make such investments possible. And, global coordination from mine to market will be required, with all players understanding the risks and opportunities that decarbonisation offers their business.

2021 Coal Association of Canada Conference


The Coal Association of Canada has made the difficult decision to postpone our annual conference to NOVEMBER 30-DEC 2, 2021. The conference will take place at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre, as planned. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be a threat to public health and safety, the CAC is following the advice of public health experts and government agencies and as such will not be hosting any in-person gatherings this year.
 
The Government of BC’s Restart Plan (as of May 25, 2021) states that the hosting of conventions will be part of Phase 4, timing TBD, and is conditional upon at least one of the following: wide vaccination, “community” immunity, or broad successful treatments. Without any certainty as to when this will take place, the responsible decision is to postpone until next year.
 
The CAC recognizes the importance of our annual conference to provide market and industry updates to members and industry representatives. We are in the process of planning an online virtual event this fall in order to provide valuable information to members and will inform you with details over the summer.
 
CAC Annual Awards Program:
 
The CAC Annual Award of Distinction and Community Champion Awards will be postponed to 2021 as well. Recognizing the exceptional work of the coal industry in Canada is of the utmost importance and we look forward to further nominations in late 2020 and early 2021. We will send out details again this fall in order to ensure members are aware of how to get involved in the awards process.
We appreciate your understanding as we all continue to work together as an industry to persevere through these uncertain times and emerge stronger than before.
 
See general information below:
 
Be a part of the conversation as we explore the benefits that the Canadian coal industry has to offer the world. Canadian coal projects are gaining momentum and with ever-increasing interest in our product, it is important that we gather and share our knowledge, opinions and expertise of the sector.
 
Infrastructure needs are growing and increasing demand for high-quality steel-making coal. Global energy demands are on the rise and coal will play an important part of the mix for decades to come.
 
Come and gain a broader understanding of the Canadian and global coal industry from Canadian and internationally renowned industry leaders, analysts and experts, panel discussions and fellow delegates, which you can put to work in your business. Renew business connections and forge new relationships. Benefit from a variety of sponsorship packages to connect with key audiences.

Digital Transformation in Mining and Metallurgical Industrial Complexes
 
Abstract:
Ores are becoming extremely variable with mineralogy and hardness disturbing the integrated crushing, grinding, flotation, and thickening processes. The current grinding and flotation sensors provide large amounts of data for process optimization. To augment the operational knowledge for proactive actions for improving the performance of the grinding and flotation circuits, we need to add the right process knowledge context and operational modes.
 
Without these proper operational contexts in place, the results are unmanaged downtime, process troubles, maintenance interruptions, and unmet production schedules. By measuring operational modes and managing these unproductive times (trouble times), people can find new ways of improving profitability and efficiency of the plant. The inFORMAtion (inSHAPEtion) created by the real-time analytics enables us to calculate the metal recovery in real time and to develop predictive analytic models to secure the best operating conditions based on the type of ore currently mined. Using the latest tools and cloud computing enables the creation of new workflows and collaboration between mining, concentrator plants, and the enterprise, including services providers.
 
Machine learning pervades our culture in a multitude of ways, from medical diagnosis and data management to speech synthesis and search engines. The novel approach of using machine-learning techniques coupled with dynamic process models in grinding, such as Dynamill™ and Dynaflote™, a new operational integrated grinding model is realized and implemented.
 
These days of remote operations utilizing the capability to integrate mining operations from drilling to product delivery is an industry boon. With mines in inconvenient, out-of-the-way locations, people can now work from home, remotely supporting operations and staying safe and healthy during these challenging times. Today, subject matter experts (SMEs) can increase productivity by developing predictive models to classify the operating conditions owing to large variations in ores, catching the hidden production, energy, and water losses by ore type and unmeasured disturbances. People call this a “follow the money” strategy, the ability to survive and adapt to these unforeseen forcing factors affecting the communities and support.

SAIMM DIMI CONFERENCE 2021


Empowering the African minerals industry through diversity and inclusion
3-4 AUGUST 2021, RIVERSANDS CANVAS, FOURWAYS, GAUTENG
 
The SAIMM through its committee for Diversity and Inclusion in the Minerals Industry (DIMI) and in collaboration with Women in Mining South Africa (WiMSA) is excited to announce its first ever conference focusing on the issues of diversity and inclusion in the mining and minerals industry.
 
The Southern African Mining sector, just like the global mining industry, still faces huge challenges when it comes to diversity and inclusivity in the workplace. While the landscape might be changing due to a lot of companies becoming more aware of the need for a more representative and diverse workforce, there is still a lot to be done. Beside issues of gender disparity in the industry, safe spaces in the workplace, protective equipment, sanitation facilities, pregnancy and childcare facilities for women are some of the challenges that continue to plague the sector. The industry also needs to go beyond workforce diversity to inclusion. Identifying individuals from different geographic, gender, economic and cultural groups, creating safe spaces for them, providing support for them to grow into their roles and creating conditions that promote inclusion on a daily basis can go a long way in retaining and advancing the careers of these individuals and hence contribute to the long term growth of the mining sector. There is thus, a need for platforms that allow for discussions that can lead to the development of strategies for advancing and encouraging decisions that are in the best interest of a diverse workforce.
 
WHY YOU SHOULD NOT MISS THIS EVENT
 
Professionals from the mining and minerals industry and related business sectors are encouraged to attend. The aim of the event is to:
 
Highlight the challenges and benefits associated with an inclusive and diverse workforce.
Provide an excellent opportunity for the industry eaders and professionals, policy makers, researchers and academics and other stakeholders who are driving strategies that promote diversity and inclusion in the mining and minerals industry to come together to openly debate, deliberate and interrogate the current landscape in this regard.
Provide a forum for professionals working in the field to celebrate achievements, share experiences and thus empower others in the field.
Uncover challenges and approaches to attracting and retaining a diverse future workforce, and
Collectively empower and transform the industry.
 
FORMAT OF THE EVENT
 
At this point in time, the event is planned as a hybrid conference with international participation, which will allow for face-to-face and online attendance and presentations. We will monitor the situation, and if it appears that the effects of the pandemic still pose a threat to the health and safety of delegates, or restrictions are lifted to allow for more face-toface participation and international travel, the event delivery method will be adjusted accordingly. Please submit your abstracts and papers as these will be peer reviewed and published. High quality papers will also be selected for publication in a special edition of the SAIMM Journal.

Knowledge Exchange Webinar


Exploration expenditure has significantly increased since 2010, shifting to deeper domains readily available discoveries are progressively exhausted. In the same period, the industry discovery rate has decreased by more than 50 percent, putting forward the question “are we using a fully optimized targeting process?” In 2016, SGS Geological Services team lead by Guy Desharnais, won the Integra Goldrush Challenge using an innovative combination of mineralized vector load in block
model, filtering it through machine learning algorithms to produce the next generation of exploration targets. This challenge opens the mind of many explorer about the use of new technologies and how to use them efficiently on any type of deposits.
 
For the past decade various types of algorithms, including decision trees and stumps boosting enhanced with domain adaptation, were adapted by the mining industry and used on different global projects for targeting purposes. Phylogenetic algorithms were also integrated into the toolbox to answer questions related to geological uncertainties and rock classification using geochemical dataset. Application are multiple in the mining industry from exploration targeting to block model ore to processing reconciliation. This presentation will focus on exploration targeting with three successful case studies for Gold, PGE and in the Oil and Gas industry, using different algorithms and softwares. Limits of the technique and challenges for the future will also be part of the discussion.
 
Key Learning Outcomes:
 
• Basis understanding of machine learning algorithm
• Machine learning application in mineral exploration
• Benefices for the industry

Indigenous Culture and Mining


Fitting a square peg into a round hole is never an easy task. So why are we as Indigenous people asked to give up a part of ourselves to fit into this corporate culture? 
 
Working in the mining industry shouldn’t be at the cost of changing cultural nuances or by losing language. Unfortunately, corporate culture has an expectation for Indigenous people to bend and change their way of doing things in order to meet their terms of success. With the majority of First Nations people in these companies in entry-level positions, it seems changing the majority for the comfort of a few may not be the best way to develop a culture of acceptance and prosperity. The challenges and microaggressions exist and awareness is necessary to transform the corporate culture to one that celebrates the cultures of others.
 
An industry that embraces what Indigenous people can offer both professionally and culturally is critical in this time of reconciliation. Not only can employment within the mining industry help filter money back into our communities and help us prosper, it can help us share our experiences, our values, and our culture so it can be celebrated by all in partnership for a better relationships as the mining industry expands.

Mapping exercises will be complemented by lectures, allowing the unique opportunity to directly apply classroom learning to the field.
 
By the end of the course, participants will have learned how to:
 
conduct a geometrical structural analysis of a multiply deformed terrane
complete a structural interpretation of a deformed terrrane
determine the sense of movement in shear zones
determine the geometry and dynamic significance of quartz vein systems.

Port Comms 2020


About the Conference
 
Wireless Communications in Ports - Now Available Online
 
This year’s Wireless Networks in Ports Conference will be a hybrid event. Those willing and able to meet in London can attend in person, with the entire proceedings broadcast online and fully interactive – utilising proven technology to provide as near an in-person experience as possible.
 
Speakers, panelists and attendees from around the world will be able to meet each other, question the presenters and exchange ideas via individual video chats as well as in group sessions.
 
PortComms is not a giant, sprawling expo with swathes of online attendees flashing past your screen. Instead, it is a unique get-together of the main customers and leading suppliers in this exclusive, complex, fast-moving market.
 
Now rescheduled for the 16th of October the Wireless Communications in Ports Conference will feature real-world experiences from leading Port Operators and Authorities across the world who have been immediately involved in the complexities of specifying and setting up their port’s wireless networks and trials. As with BWCS’ successful TrainComms conference we have focused primarily on getting the Port Operators to tell their stories and outline their plans for the future.
 
Major New Conference
 
For the first time, this conference will draw together all parties involved in this dynamic sector. It will focus on actual case studies from port companies and operators who will discuss the problems they have encountered as they have started to implement continuous wireless network connectivity across their often complex campuses.
Join the debate, question those involved and find out the issues faced by those who have launched services and discuss where they will take them next. This is your chance to meet the people who are shaping this market, who are driving it forward and bringing in new services, ideas and technologies.
 
Book Now
 
We have also greatly reduced the entrance fee!
 
However, please be advised that places are extremely limited and are selling out fast. To reserve your place now - please use the online order form here on this brochure or contact: Ross.Parsons@BWCS.com 
 
The Conference has attracted port operators and suppliers from all over the world. Those attending will hear directly from the companies that are launching wireless networks and adding new cost-cutting solutions.
 
BWCS has worked with all the major players in this new market to make Port Communications Systems 2020 a success. The Conference will feature a combination of interactive workshops, panel sessions, presentations and networking sessions exploring the commercial and technical issues arising from the deployment of wireless networks in ports around the world – all available without the need to set foot outside your door. 
 
Despite being online, the Conference will provide a great networking opportunity. All sponsorship positions have been snapped up and many of the available spaces are now filled. For further information on getting involved please contact: Ross.Parsons@BWCS.com

Xponential 2020


XPONENTIAL 2020NOW A FULLY VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE
 
As events and activities continue to evolve in response to COVID-19, it will likely come as no surprise to you that we are making one final shift this year. AUVSI XPONENTIAL 2020 will now take place entirely as a virtual event over the planned dates of October 5 – 8! While it was our collective hope that the fall would bring about a safe opportunity for our community to engage in-person in Dallas, the current rise in COVID-19 cases has made clear the need for a safe alternative.
 
Although we are disappointed that we won’t have the opportunity to greet you in a session room or in the XPO Hall, we are excited to fully engage with you through our immersive virtual event platform. This virtual experience enables direct and meaningful interactions with speakers, session content, exhibits, and formal and informal networking just as you’d expect in-person. As a bonus, you’ll also have access to recorded sessions, on-demand content, Community Q&A and networking for months after the event concludes.
 
As we finalize preparations for the event, we want to thank you — our AUVSI community — for your patience, understanding, and flexibility this year. It has been a challenging stretch but know that we are adapting this event with your interests in mind and with our standing commitment to providing an outstanding and valuable experience for all attendees.
 
FIND YOUR EDGE AT XPONENTIAL 2020
 
AUVSI XPONENTIAL 2020 is the global stage for everything unmanned — from state-of-the-art propulsion technology, sensors, energy storage and UAS mitigation solutions to what’s coming over the horizon in AI, 5G, edge computing and more.
 
As the largest, most significant event for the unmanned systems industry, you’ll find your edge as you explore the latest technology innovations, develop new perspectives as you hear from industry luminaries, and cultivate creativity at special networking events where you will meet some of the most influential leaders in the unmanned and autonomous space.
 
FIND YOUR COMMUNITY
 
Technologists, users, policy makers and strategists from more than 20 industries attend XPONENTIAL, the largest, most comprehensive trade show for unmanned and autonomous systems. Here, share data and best practices, learn from and educate others and extend your professional circle.
 
VIRTUAL PLATFORM WALKTHROUGH
 
If you are new to AUVSI's digital events, check out the snapshots below to better understand how you'll engage with AUVSI XPONENTIAL 2020. Our virtual platform is easy to use and fully interactive. From the basics of creating your user profile and planning your schedule to connecting with other attendees and visiting the XPO Hall, we've taken care to ensure all the best features of XPONENTIAL are delivered in this new digital experience.

VIRTUAL 2020 CDISC US INTERCHANGE


SGS is a proud partner and exhibitor of the Virtual 2020 CDISC US Interchange – given the uncertainty of COVID-19 and many corporate travel restrictions, this year’s event is going virtual.
 
Bringing together the global standards community through the event’s innovative, online format, our experts will be pleased to share this virtual experience and welcome you to our virtual booth and our SDTM presentation. You can also schedule a meeting with our experts.
 
SDTM PRESENTATION
 
Clean data one click away: using back-end library rules to clean on SDTM datasets
 
Data in clinical trials comes from various sources and consequently takes different formats: (e)CRF systems, external vendor data, questionnaires, etc. The variability of this data makes it hard to define, validate and implement standard rules for data cleaning and reconciliation.
 
Using SDTM datasets during a study for data cleaning, allows the creation of a library of standard electronic rules that can be configured without the need for programming by a clinical data manager.
 
In this presentation we will demonstrate how this library of rules is used and maintained by sharing practical examples of a case study. We will start with the workflow how to select standard rules from the library and configure them for a specific clinical study. In the next step, the addition of study specific rules is reviewed. The case study ends with the process for the inclusion of a new study specific rule to the overall standard library. The benefits and drawbacks of this system conclude the presentation.
 
AGENDA
 
Data cleaning challenges

This will provide a great opportunity to deep dive into specific topics, discuss opinions and gather insights from the wider pharma community.
 
Medicine regulatory authorities first became aware of the presence of the nitrosamine impurity N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in 2018. Since then, the work towards preventing and managing the presence of nitrosamine impurities in medicines has gained attention. Understanding when and where nitrosamines may become present in drug products has become a growing task for the pharmaceutical industry. A better understanding of the precursors and conditions that trigger their formation might lead the industry to reduce the possibility of nitrosamines appearing in pharmaceutical products, in order to assure the safety of patients and the quality of the final drug substance.

GAS LIFT REVIEW


Join this webinar to learn about gas lift review, diagnosis and optimization workflow
 
Gas lift is a key lifting aid for mature oil producing wells to help reduce the fluid density in the wellbore and enable easier extraction of the fluid. It is a cost-effective technique for mature fields to maximize total recovered hydrocarbons. However, three main factors affect the efficiency of gas lift – namely the injection rate, the lifting depth and the gas lift valve (GLV) type/orifice size and setting. Over time however, issues can arise with the well that stop the gas lift from operating at maximum efficiency. There are non-intervention specialized techniques that can be used to diagnose the efficiency of gas lifted systems and provide recommendations on remediation and optimization. It is not only important to look at gas lift on an individual well basis, but also at the field level. Evaluating the potential of field level optimization via data driven workflows and nodal analysis can help maximize potential production.
 
OBJECTIVES
 
At the end of this webinar, you will be able to:
 
Describe the fundamentals of gas lift
List the issues that can occur with gas lift and how they can be diagnosed
Explain the gas lift optimization workflow on a per-well basis
Describe the process of full-field gas lift optimization
Adopt learnings from case studies of gas lift surveillance and optimization which could benefit your business
 
AGENDA
 
This webinar will cover:
 
Gas lift principles and common issues
Surveillance technology available to correctly diagnose gas lift systems without intervention
Per-well and full-field gas lift review and optimization workflow

GOLD 2022 Conference


Given the extraordinary situation caused by the spread of COVID-19, the Gold conference will be postponed to 2022. This decision, we believe, will help the organization maximize the likelihood of a presential event. We are looking forward to receiving in Québec City the international community of scientists related to innovations with gold.
 
The conference will take place at the Convention Centre located in a prime area of Québec City, Canada, surrounded by world‐class hotels and tourist attractions. The historic district of Old Québec, designated a world heritage treasure by UNESCO in 1985, is the only fortified city north of Mexico. Québec City is also renowned for its famous joie de vivre, and lively streets with numerous activities.
 
GOLD 2022 will be the 9th edition of the International conference series, following GOLD 2018 in Paris. As a material, gold has experienced a renewed interest from the scientific community during these last decades. It started with the field of catalysis by gold nanoparticles, and it is now expanding to booming scientific areas such as homogeneous catalysis, plasmonics, materials sciences, biotechnology, nanotechnology and therapeutic applications. The science of gold has thus become a highly multidisciplinary field.
 
To keep the scientific community informed and aware of the latest advances in the field of gold for high-technology applications, the Gold 2022 committee will launch a series of Webinars on each one of the main scientific topics of the conference (see below). We invite the community to keep an eye on the website and to become acquainted with the main scientific topics and categories of the conference. In the next weeks the Gold 2022 committee will reach out to the scientific community and proceed to a series of invitations to prominent researchers in each field. We believe this approach will develop interest in the community, while helping the conference organization to structure the scientific event in the most optimal and dynamic manner.

GMG-SMS-CIM Virtual Forum


October 1 | 11-2pm (EDT)| 5-8pm (CEST)| 11-2am (AWST)|
 
Experts throughout the industry will address the burning issues and vital topics that are impacting mining.
 
The insights derived from new data sources can be used for critical decision making, forecasting, and trend analysis for digital technologies in the mining industry. This has the ability to optimize processes, improve efficiency, reduce costs, and integrate new technologies.
 
However, making use of this data is complicated as it involves searching, defining, labelling, cleaning, collecting, filtering, and modelling large data sets to identify valuable insights. This is further complicated by data access challenges such as ownership and intellectual property concerns, as well as data interoperability.
 
Industry collaboration is essential in order to have the right data be available, collected, and managed effectively throughout the entire mine cycle. During this virtual forum, the mining industry will come together to define best practices and strategize on data management, define data access requirements, and develop interoperability solutions.
 
Presentations by leading experts will be announced soon, stay tuned for updates!

Webinar Series


At the Intersection of Technology, Innovation and Diversity in Mining (60 min.)
 
Thu, Sep 24, 2020 9:00 PM - 10:00 PM EEST
 
It is well known that the mining sector is facing many difficult challenges: lower grade ores, smaller deposits, increasing costs, tighter margins, faltering capital markets, political risks, increased social and environmental demands, etc. If you ask senior mining executives, they generally agree that innovation is essential to the current and future survival of their companies; however, the decisions and actions of upper management do not always reflect this imperative. This presentation examines some of the barriers to innovation and what we all can do to move our industry forward. Together, we will examine recent trends in technology and innovation, both from within and outside the mining industry. 
 
Nathan Stubina joined Sherritt International as VP Technologies in November 2018.  Prior to that, he was Managing Director of Innovation for McEwen Mining.  With 30 years of international industrial experience, Nathan also worked at various major mining companies including Barrick Gold Corp., Noranda Inc. and Falconbridge Limited.

CIM GTA West


CIM GTA West: Douglas Morrison on Increasing deep, metals mine productivity
Date And Time: Thu, September 24, 2020, 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM EEST
 
Talk on significant changes to operating practice and technology platforms in mining, to increase development and production rates
 
About this Event
 
Douglas Morrison, CEO, Centre for Excellence in Mining innovation (CEMI)
 
In 2017, Deloitte reported that productivity in the global mining industry had declined by 28% in the preceding 10 years. This was caused by mines continuing to rely on the existing technology platforms in the face of declining grades, increasing production costs with depth. If the mining industry is to be able to provide adequate returns to investors, this decline has to be recovered. If the industry is to deliver the raw materials needed to enable the scale of electrification of the economy necessary to address Climate Change, this has to be reversed. Addressing this decline requires significant changes to operating practice and technology platforms - to increase development rates, increase production rates, and reduce labour and ventilation costs. This talk describes the changes that have to be made.
 
Douglas Morrison has over 35 years of industry experience; 15 years in operations in the deep nickel-copper mines in Sudbury, and 16 years consulting internationally with Golder Associates, living and working in Australia, South America and Europe. His focus has always been on mine safety and productivity and participated in many of the early successes in introducing the current technology platforms in mines today. Since 2012 he has been the CEO of CEMI, helping to develop technologies that are essential to dramatically increase the ROI and NPV of mining projects by improving production systems, and changing mine waste management systems. Given the coming demand for greater metal production to electrify the economy, existing mines must implement autonomous mining systems to increase production at lower cost, and new mines must introduce self-sustaining, zero-impact, mine waste management systems. These changes will require a new social contract with communities around the world but also offer the possibility of integrating mining and agriculture to create a Globally Sustainable Society.

Topics will include a look back on the last 25 years and potential of the next 25 years of these deposits; a review of porphyry deposits in British Columbia, the Yukon and Alaska; and a summary of the Kerr-Sulphurets-Mitchell camp, one of the most significant porphyry districts defined in recent exploration history. These talks will be of interest to geologists, explorers, miners and any wanting to learn more about this core part of Canada´s mining landscape.
 
The event also serves as the launch of CIM Special Volume 57: Porphyry Deposits of the Northwestern Cordillera of North America: A 25-Year Update. This publication follows in the footsteps of Special Volumes 15 (1976) and 46 (1995) in providing overview papers on the processes related to the formation of these deposits and detailed descriptions of specific deposits.

Occupational safety and health law emerged at the turn of the last century from the excesses of the industrial revolution. The laws were in part a reflection of community expectations of minimum standards for working conditions and in part a recognition of the inadequacy of the civil laws in promoting safety standards. What began as a statutory duty of care regime, with offences that are criminal in nature, has now evolved into a suite of criminal offences including serious criminal offences such as industrial manslaughter. This presentation will explore that evolution and assess the current state of the law.

Mining in the Time of COVID-19


CIM Sudbury Branch - Online GMM with Chris Hodgson and Beth Borody
 
Please join us for our Setpmber GMM via GoToMeeting.
Date And Time: Fri, September 18, 2020, 2:00 AM – 3:30 AM EEST
 
Mining in the Time of COVID-19: Creating Virus-Free Zones
 
For Ontario miners, safety is always the first priority. As an essential industry providing the materials that are the front end of our healthcare, manufacturing and supply chains, COVID-19 presented mining with a formidable challenge: the need to balance our economic responsibilities with the imperative to keep our people and communities safe during a pandemic.
 
Our industry’s robust health and safety culture was an asset, allowing companies to rapidly put in place strict health and safety protocols that went beyond government guidelines. From distancing measures, limits on gatherings of groups, and increased cleaning – to staggering shifts and offering online wellness programs in support of mental health, companies went further to safeguard workers: including by advocating for more testing devices to be approved by Health Canada, and being among the first to implement testing as part of screening processes in an effort to maintain virus-free workplaces.

ALUMINIUM 2021


As the organiser of ALUMINIUM, we take the developments and consequences of the Covid 19 pandemic very seriously. After careful consideration and deliberation, we have therefore decided today to postpone ALUMINIUM, which was to take place in Düsseldorf from 6 to 8 October, until 18 to 20 May 2021. The accompanying ALUMINIUM Conference will also be postponed into the next year.

The decision was made after numerous discussions with the industry and partners, the Gesamtverband der Aluminiumindustrie e.V. (GDA) and European Aluminium, who were all in favour of postponing the fair.
 
We had hoped to be able to get back on track with the industry in October. Unfortunately, this hope was not fulfilled. At the moment, the aluminium industry is concentrating on securing companies and employment. The large majority of exhibitors have therefore expressed the wish to postpone ALUMINIUM until next year.
 
We believe that by postponing ALUMINIUM to 2021 we can offer the entire industry the best customer benefits and the best conditions for a successful event. The aluminium industry can play a key role in meeting the challenges of the present and future, such as sustainable mobility or energy-efficient buildings. We are confident that we will be able to provide the important impetus for a new start at the new date next year.
 
We know that times are difficult for everyone and we hope that you will get through them well - entrepreneurially and professionally, but above all in terms of health.
 
The ticket remains valid for the upcoming trade fair 2021. If you are not able to attend in May 2021, please contact ticket@aluminium-messe.com.

Maintenance Team Culture Development


LEVEL I
1 DAY
INSTRUCTOR-LED COURSE
 
In an ideal world you'd build your own team from scratch and with great care. In reality you have to work with and lead the team you've got. From the tradesperson's perspective, you may not be the boss they started out with or the one they liked best. How do you adapt to these realities? More importantly: how do you start to improve that one factor called "culture" that has the most influence over maintenance team effectiveness and efficiency?
 
This instructor-led seminar works through leadership and team dynamic concepts that many other workshops leave out. Having trained well over one thousand tradespersons, Carl will bring insights gathered from the floor to the supervisor and team leader who wishes to unlock more of the mysteries of how teams of people work.
 
What critical elements make for a high functioning, cohesive team? What can you do differently as a leader to shape your maintenance team in this direction? This is the emphasis of this one day challenge.
 
People have fear responses, they introduce conflict and they bring their personal problems to work. You'll learn to break through and communicate effectively on this front, understand a little brain science and to identify the various realms of emotional intelligence within yourself and others.
 
We'll have a frank discussion about how transparent you can and may need to become in your leadership role, and how much of that leadership you can give away to others on the team.
 
In group activities we'll plan strategies to build better maintenance team culture and decide how to celebrate appropriately to reinforce the big and small victories.
 
Culture As A Critical Component For Companies and Work Teams
Objective: Define culture and explain its role in team function and success.
 
Subtopics
What is culture?
How does it develop?
What factors actively shape your team culture?
How would your tradespersons describe the team culture?
Identify five critical elements of culture.
