Andrew Hartley, the managing director of University of Derby Corporate, said: "These talks are extremely relevant and important in a forever evolving industry."
The panel will be chaired by Peter Huxtable, secretary of the British Aggregates Association.
Nigel Morton, programme secretary for the Institute of Quarrying's Derbyshire branch, said: "During a period where rationalisation is the name of the game, this is the perfect time to discuss whether the industry truly values its people as its greatest asset."
The rest of the panel will comprise Roy Bush, HM Inspector of Quarries; Heather Wheeler, the MP for South Derbyshire; Peter Barkwill, chairman for the Institute of Quarrying and also managing director at John Wainwright & Company; and Claire Mayo, the HR director of Hanson UK.
