The Mining Engineering Program of the Pennsylvania State University and the Underground Ventilation Committee of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration, Inc., were proud to host the 11th U.S. / North American Mine Ventilation Symposium, at the Penn Stater Conference Center on the Penn State University campus in State College, Pennsylvania, from June 5 to 7, 2006.
The conference was a great success with approximately 180 attendees taking part in 29 sessions during which 91 papers were presented. The special session Monday night on “Increasing the Effectiveness of Mine Disaster Prevention, Response, Escape, and Rescue Processes” was very well attended, as were the two pre-conference short courses and all three of the post-conference field trips. There were 16 exhibitors and donors on-site to showcase their products and services, and the receptions, banquet, and gift items directly sponsored by their participation were much appreciated by all attendees.
This symposium series offers a superlative opportunity for mine ventilation experts, professionals, and students to come together for information exchange and professional development. The 12th U.S./North American Mine Ventilation Symposium will be hosted by the University of Nevada, Reno, and Mine Ventilation Services, Inc., June 9-11, 2008 in Reno, Nevada.
