DRILL 2017 is being held on the Sunshine Coast next week, 11 and 12 October, at the relaxing Novotel Twin Waters resort. The theme of the conference and exhibition is 'Innovation to the core'.
It has been three years since the last ADIA conference and there will be many significant new industry developments showcased.
The event management team has chosen a venue that will provide delegates and exhibitors with a full range of world-class conference and indoor/outdoor exhibition facilities. All in a resort style informal setting.
The Sunshine Coast is a major tourist attraction, but is also home base for many drilling personnel who work on a mine site, fly-in and fly-out basis. The exhibition areas will be open with free admission at designated times each day, so drilling personnel can attend and meet with the exhibitors.
