CIM CONNECT Montreal

The CIM Conference and Exhibition, also known as CIM CONNECT, is one of the most important trade shows for the mining and minerals sector in Canada. Organized annually by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM)—a long-established institution committed to advancing technology, innovation, and knowledge sharing within the industry—CIM CONNECT is a professional event tailored specifically to decision-makers, specialists, and companies involved in mining, resource extraction, energy, and technological development.

A distinctive feature of the event is its rotating location. Each year, the conference is held in a different region of Canada, bringing knowledge, innovation, and networking opportunities to areas where they are most needed. The event focuses on the future of mining under the central theme: Minerals, Innovation and the Energy Transition. Key topics include the use of artificial intelligence, renewable energy, advanced storage technologies, and sustainable solutions for the energy sector.

Attendees can expect a high-quality platform showcasing the latest technologies and services. At the same time, the event offers in-depth insights into current trends such as the iron ore market, automation, digital transformation, and sustainable resource management. Highlights include keynote speeches from international experts, interactive workshops, in-depth technical panels, and dynamic discussion forums—all designed to foster knowledge exchange and professional growth.

CIM CONNECT also provides an ideal environment for networking, forging partnerships, and expanding business relationships.

Attracting several thousand professionals from around the world—including leading mining companies, equipment suppliers, service providers, and technology innovators—the CIM Conference and Exhibition stands out as a highly specialized event that not only informs but also sets strategic impulses for the entire industry—right where the future of mining is being shaped.

On the whole the organisers welcomed on the 4 days of the fair, from 12. May to 15. May 2024, about 2714 exhibitors on the CIM CONNECT in Vancouver.

The CIM CONNECT will take place on 4 days from Sunday, 04. May to Wednesday, 07. May 2025 in Montreal.
