available in the business, and the 2014 Convention is set to cre-
ate further awareness of the full range of these opportunities
and potentially give mining practitioners further tools to suc-
cessfully engage and enlist people in the industry.
The convention's three-day technical program will feature
six streams including global dimensions of mining; innova-
tions; harnessing our diverse world; managing operations –
mine to mill; construction to production; and rock engineering.
As well, the
CIM Convention will host its first Ethics in Mining
Symposium, in partnership with the Canadian Business Ethics
Research Network (CBERN).
The technical program will kick off with an electrifying
plenary session featuring an expert lineup of industry leaders
examining the convention's theme, moderated by the award-
winning investigative journalist and co-host of the
CBC's The
Fifth Estate, Mark Kelley. "At
CIM 2014, the boldest and most
innovative change-masters will exchange ideas and initiate
promising change," says Patty Moore, general convention chair.
In conjunction with the
CIM Convention, the CIM
Exhibition will be celebrating its 31st anniversary. Sold out again
this year, The Expo! will host more than 480 exhibiting compa-
nies featuring the latest in mining equipment, tools, technolo-
gies and services. The Expo! is Canada's mining marketplace.
Mining for Society (M4S)
is an educational show on min-
ing, minerals, metals and materials. Showcasing the variety of
available careers directly and indirectly related to the mining
industry,
M4S will educate participants on the entire mining
cycle – from exploration and extraction to production and
reclamation. Teachers, students and the general public are
typically surprised at how positively mining impacts their life
and daily activities, and how many jobs the industry generates
– in every sector of employment. The interactive activities at
each of the thematic pavilions are sure to make visitors' experi-
ences unforgettable.
