About the Capital Projects Symposium (CPS 2026)

Where Mining Capital Project Leaders Align

Capital projects define the trajectory of mining operations—and the tolerance for missteps continues to shrink. CPS 2026 is built for the professionals accountable for delivering these projects under increasing financial, operational, and regulatory pressure.
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.

What CPS 2026 Will Address

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

Who Attends CPS

CPS convenes a targeted audience across the mining capital project lifecycle:
  • Capital project leaders and executives
  • Mining operations professionals
  • Project and engineering managers
  • Government, regulators, and academics
  • Finance and investment stakeholders
  • Technical specialists in mining and processing
  • Legal and accounting advisors
CPS is designed for those directly responsible for project outcomes—where alignment, not theory, drives progress.
