The head of the Association for Mineral Exploration in B.C. says organizers believe they ve created a virtual roundup conference that will engage participants.
Association president Kendra Johnston estimates about 3,000 people could sign into the virtual event that runs Monday through Friday.
People in the mineral exploration industry are interested in technical information and results from exploration projects and there will be plenty of that, Johnston said.
Re-creating the sensation of being part of the crowd at the usually packed Vancouver convention centre is a bigger challenge, she said.
