For the PDAC 2025 Technical Program, the Convention Planning Committee (CPC) has a two-stage approach to solicit ideas and applications from the exploration and development community.
Stage 1 (March 26 - June 28) NOW OPEN
Submit an application for the PDAC Technical Program. There are three different ways to contribute through this submission process:
- Session topic. Share with us a topic which you would like to see presented at PDAC 2025.
- Full session: Submit your idea for a full or partial Technical Program session. Sessions include up to six expert speakers sharing content on an important exploration and development industry related topic. Sessions are generally 1.5 - 3 hours in length. Share with us the topic you would like to see at PDAC 2025, as well as who you would like to see speak on that topic.
- Individual presentation. Submit an individual presentation abstract. If selected, this presentation would be incorporated into a larger session that matches one of the final selected session themes.
Final session topics will be selected in late July. When deciding session themes, we will consider all submissions. If your application is selected, or selected in part, you may be asked if you would like to participate as a session co-chair or speaker.
Stage 2 (August 1 – September 20) - We will be seeking applications from presenters who can offer meaningful contributions on the final PDAC 2025 selected session topics. Individual presentation applications will be evaluated by the CPC and if appropriate incorporated in the selected sessions.
The PDAC welcomes applications from a diverse range of speakers. Please review our Equity, Diversity & Inclusion policy for more information.
Call for Technical Session submissions: Stage 1
The CPC is looking to build a framework of complimentary sessions which host subject matter experts delivering engaging content which is of practical use and/or educational in nature. We are currently in Stage 1 of this process as described above.
When submitting session topics, we ask that they address the categories noted below. They should address the urgent needs of the industry, be relevant, and consider industry trends.
Applicants will be notified of the success of their submission in late July.
