Technical Program

Explore the Technical Program

The APCOM 2027 Technical Program will bring together researchers, industry professionals, and technology experts to share new approaches, practical applications, and real-world experience from across the minerals industry.

Sessions will explore how data analytics, artificial intelligence, operations research, optimization, and emerging digital technologies are being applied across the mining value chain—from exploration and resource modelling to mine planning, operations, sustainability, investment, and risk management.

The complete APCOM 2027 Technical Program schedule, including sessions and presentations, will be published soon.

Explore the key themes that will shape the APCOM 2027 Technical Program below.
