Event description

The Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) Annual Convention is recognized as the world's largest annual mining industry gathering, drawing up to 30,000 attendees from over 135 countries. Reach new heights with the Trade Commissioner Service (TCS) as we leverage this event renowned for powerful networking and deal-making, to connect Canadian companies with global mining opportunities.

As global leaders look to Canada for mining expertise in investment, finance, exploration, and development, the TCS will be there to help Canadian businesses make their mark worldwide.
