Taking place November 8–10, 2026, at the Chelsea Hotel in Toronto, CPS brings together senior decision-makers responsible for financing, planning, and executing major mining developments. The focus is practical: what drives project success, what leads to failure, and how to improve outcomes in a volatile, capital-intensive environment.
The previous edition demonstrated the value of this approach, convening 270 participants from 6 countries, supported by 35 sponsoring companies and led by 22 expert presenters and session chairs.

The program is structured around the critical decisions that shape project performance:
- Financing & Risk Reduction — Strategies to secure capital and manage early-stage risk
- Contracting & Construction Strategy — Approaches to protect value in uncertain markets
- Partnerships & Collaboration — Evolving delivery models for complex mining projects
- Sustainability Benchmarks — ESG considerations impacting project viability
- Lessons Learned — Candid insights from real-world project outcomes
