Capital Projects Symposium 2025
CIM’s Capital Projects Symposium is the only global industry event that focuses 100% on mining projects. It is organised by The Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) in partnership with its Management and Economics Society (MES).
CPS 2025 is focused on the key elements that result in successful project execution, project development, financing methods and execution methods.
