WHY ATTEND: Interact with company executives, receive a 10-minute presentation and be able to ask questions one-on-one to evaluate the investment opportunity! We have designed a conference format that welcomes all types of ACTIVE resource investors = Investors (all levels of experience & net worth), Family Offices, and Institutional Investors (IA’s, PM’s, Funds)

HOW IT WORKS: Companies have been assigned a meeting area # from 1 to 16; they do not move from that spot and host meetings all day.  When Investors & Finance Individuals arrive at registration in the morning, they are assigned a Investor Group # and go meeting area to meeting area in a series of 20-minute scheduled meetings up until lunch; each attendee receives an investor booklet, a padfolio and a pen for making notes.  After lunch & guest presentations, the conference changes slightly and we host open meeting sessions; attendees go meeting area to meeting area seeing the companies they didn't see earlier in the day = no schedule, no min or max time, a very relaxed environment with bar service beginning mid-afternoon.

COMPANY LIST: We’ll be hosting 16 resource companies.  We like to host companies that have Experienced & Reputable Management, Drill Programs Underway (or planned), Active Financing (or planning to Finance) and/or an Undervalued Market Cap.   Presenting companies are mainly looking to create awareness & attract market support, some presenting their financing! The list of presenting companies will be available a week before the conference.

STOCK PICKING CHALLENGE: After meeting all the companies, attendees select 3 stocks they think will perform the best over a 90-day period; based on market cap increase.  Attendees can submit their picks at the end of the day or can email them to us after the PDAC - Deadline is Friday 5pm on March 8.  Contest starts on March 11 and runs for 12 weeks, ending Friday May 31.  We’ll evaluate presenting companies performance over that time and announce the winner on Monday, June 3. 

PARKING PASSES: We have complimentary Parking Passes for local Brokers & Investors. Please select this option during registration.
