2026 Agenda Sessions

Reimagining mining partnerships through empathy (Part 2)

Step into the “veil of ignorance” – an experiment where CEOs temporarily shed their identities and biases to adopt the roles of other stakeholders in the mining ecosystem. 

From community leaders and regulators to industry bodies and investors, each CEO will embody a perspective not their own, challenging assumptions and fostering deeper understanding. 

Through moderated dialogue and immersive role-play, the session will explore: 

• How decisions might shift if stakeholders were unaware of their own position or power 
• What true partnership looks like when empathy precedes strategy 
• How this exercise can inform more inclusive policy, investment, and operational frameworks
