The 8th Annual Longwall conference and Golf Day 2009 were both held in new venues this year, the Crowne Plaza and The Vintage in the Hunter Valley, attracting over 200 industry participants who commenced their Longwall 2009 experience with Golf Day 2009 (sponsored by BIS Industrial Logistics), followed by a 2-day conference syncopated with networking breaks at the exhibition hall with exhibitors and peers, and topping the experience off with the official conference dinner (sponsored by Joy Mining Machinery).
Zero harm mentality, safety and environmental concerns emerged as the main messages of Longwall 2009 with speakers presenting on workplace safety through ergonomics on machine design, innovation in safety, and ventilation and gas management strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Interesting case studies sparked interest among the attendees that led to exciting and intense questions and answers sessions.
