The American Exploration & Mining Association’s Annual Meeting and Exposition held the first week of December, is the second largest annual mining convention in the U.S. Our convention consists of short courses, technical sessions, and a 250 booth trade exposition.

The Annual Meeting brings together American mining industry leaders and provides important networking and social opportunities. Join AEMA this year in Sparks/Reno, Nevada, for the 128th Annual Meeting at the Nugget Casino Resort.

The mining industry is increasingly using AI to optimize processes, enhance decision-making, derive value from data, and improve safety. While there are many benefits to its implementation, it is still very new and there is a lot of work that needs to go into a successful application. Planning, research, communication, and change management are all essential foundations for implementation.

In an industry that can be reluctant to change, industry collaboration is essential in order to communicate the advantages of AI, as well as to establish best practices for moving forward with AI technology. During this session, the industries and universities will come together to collaborate on the future of AI from a wide range of perspectives.
