Toronto to host global mineral sector for PDAC 2026, March 1–4
Toronto, Ontario (Feb. 24, 2026) – The Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) will bring together the mineral exploration and mining community in Toronto for its 94th annual Convention, taking place March 1–4, 2026, at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC).
As the World’s Premier Mineral Exploration & Mining Convention, PDAC 2026 will draw industry leaders, investors, government representatives, Indigenous communities and students from around the world for four days of investment, insight and networking.
“PDAC 2026 comes amid intensifying global competition to secure the minerals underpinning modern economies,” said PDAC President Karen Rees. “At a time of accelerating demand, the convention is where leaders convene to advance projects, strengthen partnerships and shape the future of the industry.”
The convention will span the full Metro Toronto Convention Centre, reflecting strong international demand and underscoring PDAC’s role at the centre of the sector. Participants will have access to expansive exhibit halls, comprehensive programming including technical sessions, short courses and keynote presentations addressing the trends and challenges shaping mineral exploration and development.
“PDAC 2026 will feature the largest trade show footprint in our history, with more than 1,300 exhibitors across the North and South buildings of the MTCC,” Rees added. “That breadth gives participants a clear view of the projects, technologies and ideas defining the sector.”
Opportunities to evaluate projects and connect with company leadership will be available through the Trade Show, Investors Exchange, Core Shack, Prospectors Tent and Corporate Presentations for Investors. Throughout the week, networking events, including the Awards Celebration & Nite Cap, will bring the global industry together to recognize excellence and build new relationships.
