The study of management and impact of automatic technologies and maintenance in mining is of increasing interest for mining operations. These topics are some of the main challenges facing the mining industry in its strive to be both efficient and effective. Conferences organised by Gecamin in this area are:

In addition to the congresses and meetings previously mentioned, Gecamin has organised workshops of international origin, which are held periodically in different host countries. This applies to:
Workshop on Automation in Mining, Mineral and Metal Industry
This workshop was first organised by the International Federation of Automatic Control. It is held every three years and in 2009 it was hosted in Viña del Mar, Chile by Gecamin and the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María. The technical programme included 66 presentations by authors representing 22 countries. Delegates from 22 mining companies were among the 225 participants who attended. The next IFAC MMM will be held in 2012 in Gifu, Japan.
