Brazil-Canada at PDAC 2017
The Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce (BCCC) is proud to announce the 11th Edition of the Brazil-Canada at PDAC 2017 taking place in Toronto during the 2017 PDAC Convention, which includes a series of events focused on the Brazilian mineral exploration and mining industries and will be held between March 5th and 8th, 2017.
The Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) represents the interests of the Canadian mineral exploration and development industry and is responsible for organizing the International Convention, Trade Show & Investors Exchange – Mining Investment Show in Toronto, ON, Canada. In 2016, the PDAC Convention attracted over 900 exhibitors and 22,000 attendees and is considered the meeting point of the world’s mineral industry - drawing investors, mining executives and government officials from over 125 countries.
Following the success of the previous editions, in addition to the official events organized by PDAC, the Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce is organizing the 11th edition of the Brazil-Canada at PDAC 2017. This will be a two-day event that includes our traditional Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce Mining Breakfast – Outlook of the Brazilian and Canadian Industries hosted by McCarthy Tétrault on March 6th, as well as the BCCC Exclusive Mining Luncheon – Capital Markets and Mining Finance (SOLD OUT) and the Brazilian Mineral Exploration and Mining Industries – Companies’ Projects Presentations and Networking, both held in partnership with Baker & McKenzie on March 7th at the PDAC Pavillion.
Over the years, the Brazil-Canada at PDAC has become a must-attend event for everyone interested in understanding the current situation of the Brazilian mining industry. Our events offer an unique networking opportunity, which have been the starting point to many transactions along the years. The high profiles of our speakers discussions and attendees have certainly been the key success factor at our event.
The Brazilian government and several Brazilian and Canadian companies have already confirmed their presence at PDAC 2017. We are looking forward to having your company involved in the 11th Edition of the Brazil-Canada at PDAC 2017 as well.
