The Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada’s (PDAC) 2024 Convention will commence March 3-6, 2024 in Toronto.
“After 92 years, PDAC’s annual Convention in Toronto is still the event-of-choice for the world’s mineral exploration industry’s leaders, companies, executives, government representatives, students, scientists, and anyone involved or interested in mineral exploration and development,” said Raymond Goldie, PDAC President.
The event will include a key programme that will help miners understand how to navigate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors and benchmarks, following the growing focus on ESG scorecards and the influence these carry in the market.
This year’s PDAC will also include a junior miner ESG forum, which will expand on the idea of ‘strategy to execution’.
Covering over 600,000 square feet of event space across both the North and South Buildings of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, as well as special events held at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel, PDAC 2024 will be one of the largest showcases the association has produced after almost a century of global success.
Toronto is the mining investment capital of the world and Canada is home to more than half the world’s mining and exploration company headquarters.
“Expect a lineup of expert programming, dynamic presenters, and more than 1,100 exhibitors,” said Goldie. “In addition to our perennial favorites like the Keynote Program, Indigenous Program, Sustainability Program, and the Corporate Presentation Forum for Investors, we'll be introducing exciting new features. If networking is your thing, you'll be delighted with our brand-new Coffee Connections and Happy Hours. And certainly, the Awards Gala & Nite Cap, The Network, and the Pub Night Finale are must-attend events.”
