Overview

JCEC South Australia invites you to join us for a networking mixer with ChemEngConnect at the Richmond Hotel, bringing together professional connections with practical insights into process safety. This session features an interactive networking format centred on Management of Change (MoC)—a critical area for preventing incidents across technical, process, and organisational changes.

Organisations continue to face incidents linked to poorly managed changes—whether technical, process, or organisational. This introduction is designed to share practical, real‑world tools to strengthen your MoC systems and prevent avoidable failures. Join for an introduction to Management of Change (MOC) led by Paul Battersby BEng, MIEAust, using the new guidance framework developed by an IChemE Safety Centre cross-industry international working group.

What to expect:

• Collaborative: A joint event bringing together the ChemEngConnect and JCEC communities
• Engaging: Peer-led discussions focused on process safety
• Social: A great opportunity to connect with the South Australian engineering network in a casual setting

We’re delighted to have Paul Battersby as our presenter and MC for the evening, guiding the session and sharing his insights and experience.

Your ticket includes food and drinks, so come along to enjoy great company and engaging conversations.
