The Prospectors
& Developers
Association of
Canada (PDAC)
and the Canadian
Association of
Mining Equipment
and Services for
Export (CAMESE)
have joined
forces again to
enhance
exchanges
between
exhibitors and
registrants at the
world's largest
Convention and
Trade Show for
the mineral
exploration
industry.
The purpose
of the
Innovation Forum organized by CAMESE
is to allow
registered Trade
Show Exhibitors
an additional
opportunity to
inform
Convention
registrants about
their
innovations.
Examples include
new products,
services,
exploration
developments,
discoveries,
legislation
changes, or
recent technical
or commercial
successes. Presentations
must be well
prepared, impart
sound technical
or business
content and be
seen to be
innovative
and/or
newsworthy.
The Forum will
take place on
Sunday, March 4,
2012 in Room
802.
