Designed with a consideration for the Summit in September, the Advisory Board brings together the best in the business to open debates on trending topics for CIOs, current challenges being faced at the global decision-maker level and how best to structure future CIO Australia Summits in a bid to continue leading the way as B2B facilitator of next generation business.

Steve Dixon, MD ANZ at Riverbed, attended last year's Summit and praised its unprecedented effectiveness, saying: "It's been a good event for us and a great opportunity to meet senior people that are normally very difficult for us to get in front of. The CIO Summit has been a really good event and certainly worthwhile." The event has been designed specifically for forward-thinking CIOs in the Australian arena, drawing on experience and discussing the challenges facing the region's various marketplaces in a CIO context. The CIO Advisory Board will function around six sessions designed to explore the most disruptive disciplines facing CIOs throughout Australia. The aim? To induce business relationships and advocates within the industry that continue to champion the CIO Australia Summit, while concurrently setting the standards to be followed through for the CIO Summit in September. Kristy Morrison, CIO Delegate Director for the CIO Australia brand, believes that the exceptional calibre of speakers and content, aligned with truly valuable networking opportunities, offer the delegates unprecedented value for their time and a significant return on their knowledge and expertise. "The Advisory Board will bring together the top CIOs from various industries in Australia to help shape the programme for the CIO Summit in September. The Board will work through a one-day programme, discussing the challenges, issues and hot trends that will set the tone and platform for the Summit - and drive content to the exclusive event for the top 65 CIOs later on in the year. Traditionally, the Advisory Board has been one of our strongest pre-event Boards globally across our entire portfolio, and the strength of our hand-picked delegates means we're in a position to raise the bar once again for 2012." GDS International’s Next Generation Mining Summit Australia, Brings Top Level Delegation to Shangri-La Hotel, CairnsOn 20 – 22 March 2012, leading CEOs, MDs, GMs and Directors will attend the Next Generation Mining Summit at the Shangri-La Hotel in Cairns to discuss the hottest and most challenging topics currently encapsulating the mining industry.
Australia has historically dominated the mining industry, however its mining sector has not been immune to the recent global economic downturn. As a result, even the largest mining operators in the region have faced the threat of halted production and closed mines as the demand for iron ore, coal and other minerals has waned. In order to tackle these industry challenges head-on and find innovative technological solutions, it’s pivotal that leading executives come together under one roof to discuss challenges and find resolutions. The Next Generation Mining Summit will host leading executives from 90 percent of Australia’s top 30 mining companies. Those attendees include Sean Willy, Director, Corporate Social Responsibility; Nigel Thomas, MD, Barricks; Richard Kerrison, Mining Manager, Fortesque Metals Group; Glen Lewis NuCoal; Glen Grindlay, GM of Operations, Waihi NZ, Newmont Mining; Alisdair Gibbons, GM Caval Ridge, BHP Billiton; Paul Williams, CEO, Queensland Coal Corporation and Andrew Wilson, Manager Mine Operations, Rio Tinto. Next Generation Mining will be the third mining summit in Australia. “The quality of the people I have met here as been fantastic,” said Mark LeGrange, Exploration Director, Trafford Resources, a previous Mining summit attendee. “We look for events where we can get a high level of engagement, rather than traditional conferences and we were able to achieve that,” said James Balzary, Director of Resources, SolveIT Software. “This [summit] by far outstrips all the other formats I’ve been to before,” said Richard Beazley, GM Technical Services and Corporate Development, Consolidated Materials. Gina Perrin, Next Generation Mining Australia Summit Director, believes the summit’s high quality speakers and pioneering content, combined with fantastic opportunities for networking, gives delegates real value for money and return on investment. "GDS [the company behind NG Mining] have always been proud of the quality of their summits, but this year’s Next Generation Mining Summit will be the best event the mining industry has ever experienced. The event will provide the ideal closed door environment for the leaders of Australia’s biggest industry to collaborate, discuss, debate, investigate legislative issues and really make a difference in such a lucrative and important industry. “No other event in the Australian mining industry brings together so many powerful decision makers under one roof for two and a half days.” GDS International is one of the most innovative events and media companies worldwide and a globally renowned producer of business-to-business summits, conferences, online information and advisory group gatherings.
