The 2023 Symposium of the African Mining Professionals Association of Australia (AMPAA) will be live-streamed.
The event, to be held on 5 August 2023 at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Perth has the theme, “Unearthing the Future: Transforming Mining through Innovation and Sustainability.”
“Members of our association are spread across Australia, and at this point, it is clear that some will not be present in Perth to attend the event in-person,” says Benjamin Osei Akoto, President of AMPAA.
He adds, “of course, the live streaming technology is available globally. This means even members of AMPAA who may have travelled outside Australia will be able to join the 2023 symposium.”
