Conference at the Gong

In July this year i went to Woolongong, NSW as part of a group of QRC scholarship students attending the AusIMM New Leaders Conference. As with last year the conference was incredibly interesting and made me once again be incredibly excited about the industry into which we are all entering. The conference focused on the challenges that face the resources industry at the moment but also the great opportunities and rewards that are available. The New Leaders conferences are so diverse in topic matters, which makes it all the more interesting. I think the 'bonding' that occurs by providing a never ending supply of alchol to a room full of soon to miners, uni students is incredibly rewarding and some of these contacts will be useful in our future careers. Overall a very fun and educating experience.
