Feedback from AMM 2022 delegates

This is the first time I decided to participate in the AMM Congress as a delegate. I find this platform extremely interesting. The industry professionals gain a lot of knowledge, and new business contacts. Our company originated in Russia, but we came to discover Kazakhstan. The tasks for these days are to understand what is going on, who is engaged in what kind of activity, what are the new technologies, and what are the current issues. I think it's worth visiting AMM as a delegate to gain new experiences and knowledge.

We decided to participate in this year's AMM Congress as delegates, because after the pandemic, the Congress program was extremely interesting and there were participants, producers from all over Kazakhstan. We have been working in Kazakhstan for a long time, since 1993. We believe that personal exchanges and face-to-face meetings are extremely important for business promotion. We are focused on the field of ecology, on emissions that affect the quality of human life. In this congress, we would like to present our solutions, our approaches to solving problems with respect to tailing storage facilities. We have unique developments, implemented projects that have advantages for the company.  I think that the Congress was extremely professionally organized. The program included high quality presentations, as well as relevant topics on our focus area - ecology were discussed.

This is the first time I have attended an AMM Congress as a delegate. I had heard a lot about it before, but since I was in a different industry, I never participated. In the course of my service this year, I had the chance to participate in Congress from the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs, where I head the unit dealing with basic industries, including metallurgy and mining. Today we participated in a plenary session. Even considering the speakers, we could see a decent level of excellence. There were questions of both industrial development and ecological balance. Also today's sessions raised issues about energy and coal. There is one hot topic that I see pervading the panel sessions, large and small seminars, and that is decarbonization and the transition to a green economy. It is important to understand what the situation is, what the risks and opportunities are for the industry. And this topic of the Congress meets all the requirements of today. What will be the competitiveness of our metallurgy, our mining, and ore industry in 5-10 years, whether we will find ourselves in the world trends of development of the industry. It is extremely important that already at this forum we understand for ourselves where we are, where we aspire to, and whether there is understanding on the part of society. This Congress is attended by representatives of science, government agencies, business, and the public. I am very glad that there were dialogues and it is necessary to develop networking further at the expense of those new contacts that have arisen today on a forum, both for me, and for other participants.  I highlighted for myself the hundreds, thousands of thoughts that were said. As a result of attending several sessions, I understood that we need to work on some areas, including working on an agenda for transition to green energy, green metallurgy, and decarbonization. Also heard about the aspirations of business, where there is a good initiative, but it is not legislated, there is a misunderstanding on the part of both the state and other interested communities, where this work is carried out. I think the role of the Congress here is important in serving as a platform, a bridge between the different sides, so that in the end, there would be a progressive movement toward each other. 

I take part in this Congress every year. Your events are very organized, the AMM Congress always raises really interesting, significant topics, so I come from Ukraine with great pleasure. I want to thank your conscientious team. The program of the Congress was really good. If I outline the relevant and attractive topics, I was mainly interested in the mining industry. Here I held the negotiations and meetings I was interested in. And Kazakhstan in general is a unique country, it has unique people and unique nature. So I'm very grateful to your partners and to all of Kazakhstan.
