From tracking turtles off Western Australia’s coast to advising on the future of autonomous mining, Dr Catherine Ball has witnessed technology transform industries.

In this keynote, Catherine explores how emerging technologies, drones, AI, robotics and automation. are reshaping the resources sector, and why women are uniquely positioned to lead this transformation. Drawing on her experience founding the World of Drones Congress and advising global innovation challenges, she’ll challenge attendees to move from passive observers to active architects of mining’s technological future. A panel discussion follows exploring the gap between innovation intent and operational reality.
