Symposium Announces Runge Limited (ASX:RUL) Goes Platinum For Resources And Energy Symposium
Sydney, Feb 16, 2011 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Symposium is pleased to announce that Runge Limited (
ASX:RUL) has come on board as a Platinum sponsor of the inaugural Resources and Energy Symposium to be held in Broken Hill from May 22 - 25, 2011.
The Resources and Energy Symposium (RES) will showcase Australia's industry leaders in what is a truly inclusive sector conference with companies representing the mining, oil, gas, renewable and alternative energy sectors. The conference will examine Australia's role in the changing face of the global resources sector and how Australia can future-proof itself against the growing competition from emerging nations. With both local and international speakers, RES 2011 promises to challenge the belief that in the "lucky country" the resources sector is top dog. With growing concern about an infrastructure shortage; people and skills shortage; speed to market deficiency; and global demands all impacting on the industry, RES will debate the concept of global resource management.
Tony Kinnane, Managing Director of Runge Limited said,
"Our Company is proud to be the Platinum sponsor for this event because our business evolved out of the economics of mining and future-proofing organisations over the past three decades. We see this conference as representing the heart of the challenge that this industry has laid before it.
"There is perfect synergy between the intent of this conference and the core competence of our business which surrounds the economics of the resources sector in the future.
As the birthplace of the resources industry, Broken Hill is a fitting location for the event which will include three days of in depth discussion on the economics of the resources sector in Australia and globally. Additionally delegates can get involved in site visits, camel races, the Great Australian Outback Golf Challenge and the Right on Track Dinner.
Kerry Stevenson, Managing Director of Symposium, said,
"Having the support of a company such as Runge sends a clear message that this is a significant event. Additionally, it is not-for-profit with proceeds going to establish scholarships to ensure future growth in the sector.
Stevenson continued
"We need to make sure that our industry stays robust during challenging economic times. This Symposium will provide that opportunity to get some real red dirt under our nails and participate in this inaugural event."
The Resources and Energy Symposium will acknowledge the past while focusing on the future of the industry including innovative technology and its impact on global development.
