Sentient Computing

If digital transformation in mining is on your agenda for 2026 then put 23–25 June in your calendar.

Our Founder, Bester, will be taking the keynote stage at the Iron Ore | Open Pit Operators Conference in Perth, presenting on:

"Building Digital Resiliency: How Mining Companies Can Adapt and Thrive in this Age of Disruptive Technologies"

Doug brings 35+ years in technical operations and nearly two decades building Sentient Computing into a recognised Australian pioneer in VR training, immersive simulations, and industrial digital twins for iron ore and energy operators.
If you're a mining leader grappling with procurement complexity, cyber risk, or how to actually move from pilot to production - this one's worth your time.

We'll be sharing more on what to expect from his session as we get closer to June. In the meantime, registration is open and early bird pricing won't last.

📍 Perth Convention Centre | Iron Ore + Open Pit Operators — one registration, both programs.
