Every year students from all over Australia meet for the New Leaders conference and National Mining Games. Last night saw the conclusion of the 2009 events with a black tie ball at Rydges in Southbank.
This year’s conference presented some interesting perspectives on how the resources industry is adapting and will continue to evolve to meet the challenges of the 21st century. The conference ran over two days with a welcome function on the first night. This year’s welcome function was held on ‘The Island’, which for those that don’t know is a party boat that goes up and down the Brisbane River. It was a great opportunity to catch up with a few of the people I met last year at last year’s conference.
The Mining games were held on the weekend after the conference. Thanks to an exam on the Saturday our proposed Metallurgy team didn’t go ahead and we weren’t able to compete. Will have to wait until the International Mining Games in WA next year!
Overall it has been a great week and a fantastic opportunity to network with students from around Australia, chances are I’ll be working with some of them in a few years time.
