The evening will start with a highly engaging talk by Tim Harford, the ‘Undercover Economist’, Financial Times columnist, BBC broadcaster, author and a podcaster (Cautionary Tales, More or Less)

"Why Companies Squander Brilliant Ideas"

Followed by a panel discussion moderated by Tim and featuring key industry speakers:

• Charlie Durant, Interim Head of Sustainability at CRU
• Sarah Gordon, CEO and Co-founder of Satarla and Co-founder at Responsible Raw Materials
• Joe Carr, Innovation Director at Axora

The panel will discuss:

• How can the traditionally risk-averse mining sector learn to innovate better?
• How the sector ought or can respond to so-called ‘black swan’ events that disrupt the transition to clean energy?
• What can mining do to become more sustainable beyond the low-hanging fruit?

You can expect an evening full of insightful conversation, valuable connections, and a drink and a bite on us, set on one of the best rooftop terraces in the City of London. And don’t worry, although we’re sure it will be a beautiful evening, there is a canopy.
