Celebrating Connections at the Stand-Up Dinner
The Mill Operators Conference has long been recognised as the leading event in the mining and minerals processing sector, providing a platform for knowledge sharing, innovation, and critical industry networking.
One of the most anticipated events among this years eagerly awaited conference program is the Stand-Up Dinner, taking place on Tuesday, 22 October 2024, from 6.30pm to 9.30pm at the prestigious Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA).
The AGWA, located in the heart of Perth’s Cultural Centre, is an inspiring venue that combines heritage architecture with modern design. Home to artworks from renowned local and international artists, the gallery provides a striking backdrop with views of Perth's city skyline, for delegates to enjoy an evening of exceptional food, drink, and conversation.
The conference dinner, officially sponsored by Sedgman, offers more than just a memorable culinary experience; it serves as an invaluable networking opportunity for professionals across the mining sector. Delegates will engage in lively discussions, share insights, and make meaningful connections in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.
Sedgman’s involvement in the event highlights their commitment to fostering collaboration and innovation within the industry. As leaders in process engineering, their perspective on the value of the conference is clear.
Lyndon Ryan, Manager Business & Project Development at Sedgman, explains: “Mill Ops is a valuable opportunity to bring together technical leaders from mining companies, equipment suppliers, and consulting firms to share real-world examples of innovative initiatives and practices. As an engineering service provider to the mining industry, it provides our team with a valuable opportunity to gain insight into the challenges our clients encounter and allows us to adapt our services to better support them. It also allows the applications of new technologies to be presented with practical examples of how they may be implemented.”
Sedgman’s full-lifecycle approach to process engineering supports the mining industry from the earliest stages of exploration through to project delivery and operations. Their work spans critical sectors such as lithium and downstream processing, making them key contributors to the evolving landscape of the resources industry. 
“As process engineering leaders, we support the mining sector with our full lifecycle offering. Our involvement starts early in the exploration phase as companies seek to develop and prove up innovative, sustainable flowsheets and continues through the engineering study phases and in project delivery and operations. Our recent acquisitions have seen us provide these services to an increasingly broader range of clients in the lithium and critical materials sectors including downstream refining and metal extraction processes.” Lyndon shares.
As proud sponsors of the Stand-Up Dinner, Sedgman sees the event as an essential forum for building relationships that will shape the future of the industry. Lyndon further expresses: “We are looking forward to connecting with industry colleagues about future opportunities to advance and improve our practices to support the global transition to green energy.” 
With an all-inclusive ticket price of $110, the Stand-Up Dinner is more than just an evening out—it’s an opportunity to engage with thought leaders, exchange ideas, and form partnerships that will drive the future of minerals processing. Held at one of Perth’s most iconic cultural landmarks, the event is sure to leave delegates with not only memorable conversations but also insights that will impact their careers long after the conference concludes. Bus transfers will be provided from the conference venue to the Art Gallery.
