LAST YEAR's #BDT2020 donated $55,000 to Charities

#BDT2020

The World of Transformation is underway; the 2nd annual Beyond Digital Transformation Conference was a resounding success with over $30,000 donated to 20 charities around the globe. This conference focuses on that ever changing mining landscape and how mining companies have applied innovations and the subsequent lessons learned and success stories related to these innovations. This is the one conference where you must be a Mining Company to Present on stage. Sponsor spots are available but they are reserved for our Platinum and Gold Sponsors.

This year's #BDT2020 conference will switch gears with the theme “Data to Decisions”, offering a more hands on focus on how new innovations are applied. #BDT2020 will showcase mining companies who are implementers and will be sharing their success stories and lessons learned. Action biased companies who are using the latest technologies to improve safety, performance, and their overall operations.

#BDT2020 will also shine the “miner’s lamp” on the industry’s unsung heroes, offering insights from mine managers, superintendents, and other speakers who are directly responsible for operations. As part of their presentations mining companies will be sharing their perspective on the real-world challenges they would like to see solved and the vendors, universities and colleges connected to the conference will be challenged to come up with possible future innovations to help solve these challenges.

The conference will be extending it's reach this year by being Live-Cast at multiple different universities, colleges and technology hubs who are connected through the Orion Network. Please contact us is you are interested in being a virtual site for #BDT2020;
