The international mining community is gearing up for DRC Mining Week Online – a two-day digital gathering of the DRC local and international audience aimed at sharing and highlighting the key themes driving the country’s mining industry in 2021. All of this in anticipation of a live event conference and expo in October this year.
The organisers of DRC Mining Week Online have confirmed the exciting line-up and discussions for their latest, interactive digital event taking place from 14-15 June.
“We have made sure that the content for our upcoming online sessions in June is relevant, what the industry wants and needs and, very importantly, is interactive. The audience will be able to ask questions via the chat box that will be answered live by the panellists, take part in polls and exciting competitions” said Sabrina Tab, DRC Mining Week’s event manager.
Live roundtable discussions
“In particular, we have live roundtable discussions where everyone can participate in the debate, switch on their microphones and cameras and be seen and heard. We look forward to the participation from the audience on our digital platform,” added Tab.
The online event is supported by longstanding, sponsors who are industry pioneers in their own right, including Standard Bank, Cigna Hollard, Mayfair, Vulkan and more. To serve the event’s loyal local and international audience, the programme makes provision for sessions in English, French or both.
The opening session with the theme, The DRC’s investment rating: An inaccurate perception, will be available in both languages and features a strong panel of expert speakers who will address those areas holding the DRC back from greater investment and more importantly, the key areas of change that will encourage investment as well.
