Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) Annual Convention 2026

The Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) Annual Convention is recognized as the world’s largest yearly gathering for the mining industry gathering, attracting up to 30,000 attendees from more than 135 countries. Reach new heights with the Trade Commissioner Service (TCS) as we leverage this event. Which is famous for powerful networking and deal-making opportunities, 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.

Last year, the TCS team organized a total of 26 global roundtables featuring major international mining projects from 12 countries across 5 continents that resulted in more than 50 business leads. About 200 Canadian supplier companies and partners took part in these meetings, where they were able to learn about the procurement needs of these projects. The Canadian companies presented their products and services to executive level company representatives.
