Introduction

• The 2020 Australia Virtual Data Management Workshop is a virtual event featuring plenary presentations, interactive discussions, and networking opportunities. Taking place August 26 & 27, 2020, on our Remo Platform (visit the Access tab) this annual event is attended by a variety of organizations and attendees from Analysts to CEOs.
• We are currently accepting sponsors for this event.
• A flyer for this event is available.
• The preliminary Agenda for this workshop is now available.

• The Theme for this Workshop is "Navigating The Future of E&P Data Management Beyond 2020." So far, 2020 has been an extraordinary year on account of the global pandemic and all the abrupt changes it caused, on a background of already low petroleum prices. The reaction of our industry was swift and the ongoing impacts are likely to reverberate for a long time. Most long-term digital transformations initiated before this year will be affected: some may have been accelerated, but most are revised, deferred or cancelled altogether as organisations adapt to drastic budget reductions. Many of us are now working remotely, relying more than ever on data and the infrastructure to access and use it. In this new environment, data becomes an even more strategic and critical asset than in the past. How can we, as individuals and as members of our respective organisations, seize the moment, create opportunities from these challenges, realise them guided by the lessons of the past, and emerge ahead? During this workshop, we will reflect on these unique circumstances, hear about latest relevant developments and learn from one another, through a combination of keynote addresses, presentations and interactive sessions.
