For me SME meetings are great source to learn new things and offer great networking opportunities. Well, I would definitely attend this meeting at Colorado <a href="https://eventup.com/" rel="nofollow">convention center</a> hopefully if other things don’t overlapped with my schedule.<br />mackytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474029064281020182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908362959739425575.post-45805835029390949972015-03-03T08:47:38.327+00:002015-03-03T08:47:38.327+00:00Final numbers were 906 exhibit booths and 7,804 at...Final numbers were 906 exhibit booths and 7,804 attendees, making this the largest SME Annual Conference to date.MEIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834780351452765156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908362959739425575.post-76476336154566147472015-02-23T19:27:17.415+00:002015-02-23T19:27:17.415+00:00Excellent summary

Monday evening’s gala dinner celebrated the 2014 inductees in the Brown Palace Hotel, Denver. It was a glorious evening, attended by the great and the good, including a large group from the Benavides family – considered by many to be the ‘first family’ of Peruvian Mining – the Peruvian ambassador to the USA, three former CEOs of Newmont Mining, the President of Freeport-McMoRan Americas and many other notable figures of the mining industry, too numerous to mention - http://im-mining.com/2015/02/18/great-mining-industry-innovators-and-technology-facilitators/. The next induction dinner will be in Phoenix at the SME next February.<br /><br />John Chadwick, Publisher/owner of International Mining magazine, UKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908362959739425575.post-28418782286746753322015-02-20T17:35:21.630+00:002015-02-20T17:35:21.630+00:00Nice summary of the SME Meeting Barry.

While I was not able to participate in many of the technical sessions, those I did attend were informative and well presented. <br /><br />Overall, it was a highly successful conference from my perspective. SME and similar organizations are heading in a proper and healthy direction that will further benefit mining and mankind as a whole. I sensed a similar positive view from many of the attendees. <br /><br />Mick L.
