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.

BROCKVILLE Public school students in Brockville would normally visit long-term care homes this time of year to spread holiday cheer, but the ongoing pandemic has put a damper on the annual tradition. Their message, however, is still getting out, with one school even starting a new business. I noticed they really enjoyed making their Halloween greeting cards so then we sort of started talking and kids got really excited about creating a greeting card company that will carry through the whole year, said Sherry Leeder, a Grade 1 teacher at Toniata Public School in Brockville. When we were getting ready to do Christmas cards, the secretary told us (senior support services), CPHC was wondering if anybody would like to do some greeting cards for them for seniors so we thought great! Our first client, Leeder said.
