Discover the future of mining tech at the Xploration Tech Symposium — innovation, insights & industry leaders all in one place.
About this Event

Now in its 11th year, the IMDEX Xploration Tech Symposium has firmly established itself as a flagship event on the global mineral exploration calendar. Held annually in Vancouver ahead of the AME Roundup Conference, this one-day symposium brings together leading thinkers in geoscience, exploration, and mining technology.

Hosted by IMDEX, a global leader in mining tech, the event is a platform for sharing breakthrough innovations, real-world applications, and collaborative case studies that are reshaping the exploration landscape.

The 2026 program will feature:

  • 12+ technical presentations
  • Interactive panel discussions, and
  • Valuable networking opportunities with industry leaders, decision-makers, and innovators.

With a strong emphasis on geoscience, analytics, and digital transformation, the IMDEX Xploration Tech Symposium connects professionals from across the mining value chain — including technical experts, researchers, explorers, and emerging talent — to share ideas, tackle challenges, and spark collaboration.


2026 Theme: "Forging the Future: Emerging Leaders in Geoscience & Mining"

We’re shining a spotlight on the bright minds driving the industry forward — whether by deploying cutting-edge technology, challenging traditional ways of working, or delivering real-world impact in the field. We’re curating a line-up of speakers who represent the next generation shaping the future of mining.


What’s Included:
Your ticket includes full-day access to the symposium, morning and afternoon tea, a buffet lunch, and a post-event sundowner with food and drinks — the perfect setting to continue conversations and build new connections.


Speakers and specific session topics will be announced closer to the event.
