The much-anticipated 4IRinMining Seminar returns in 2025, now expanded into a powerful two-day seminar designed to redefine the future of mining through digital innovation, sustainable practices, and human-centric transformation. Set to take place from 24–25 July 2025 at WITS University, L101 WITS School of Education, Education Campus, Parktown, Johannesburg this year’s event is themed:

“Re-Inventing Mining: Building Competent, Safe & Sustainable Mines of the Future.”

Following overwhelming support from last year’s attendees, who rated the 2024 seminar as "extremely helpful," the 2025 edition promises deeper dialogue and more practical showcases.
