CMAC-Thyssen Mining Group | 30 Years of History: Heritage, Reality, and Identity

Through this conference, CMAC offers a lucid and human perspective on 30 years of evolution within the mining industry — spanning continuity, adaptation, and the affirmation of identity. Far from a nostalgic or promotional narrative, the presentation sheds light on what it truly means to carry an industrial legacy forward while remaining grounded in today's market realities. The discussion will focus on the key lessons drawn from the company's journey: the ability to evolve through shifting economic contexts, the importance of staying true to one's values, and the critical role of authentic collaboration in building lasting relationships with partners, suppliers, and clients. CMAC will share how, over the decades, the company's identity has been shaped not only by technical expertise, but also by a respectful approach to the field, to people, and to local ecosystems. In an increasingly complex mining environment, the conference will serve as a reminder that performance is also built on transparency, humility, and the capacity to work together rather than in silos. A conference that invites reflection on how companies can honour their past, navigate the present, and look toward the future — without losing what makes them who they are.

Char-Pol | A Century of Experience, a Transparent Approach to Lasting Market Presence

In this conference, Malcolm Caron-Boivin will offer a reflection rooted in the experience of a century-old company called to thrive in demanding industrial environments. He will demonstrate that longevity and growth rest above all on the ability to enter new markets with transparency, consistency, and a long-term vision. At the heart of his approach: prioritizing authentic and lasting relationships. He will put forward a posture of humility and attentiveness — essential for understanding local realities, recognizing existing expertise, and building partnerships grounded in complementarity rather than simple transactions. In a context where projects are complex and decision cycles are long, he will emphasize that transparency — both in intentions and capabilities — becomes an indispensable strategic lever for establishing trust and ensuring solid collaborations.

Mining Suppliers Association of British Columbia (MSABC) | Business Opportunities in British Columbia: Understanding the Market and Succeeding in BC's Mining Ecosystem

Alec Morrison will offer a concrete, pragmatic, and decidedly sales-oriented overview of current opportunities for suppliers in British Columbia's mining industry. He will highlight the most promising projects and sites for companies looking to break into or strengthen their presence in this strategic market. The conference will also provide a targeted update on the key policy and technical drivers, including: the electrification of mining operations, decarbonization, and clean and innovative technologies. Taking a broader perspective, Alec Morrison will contextualize these opportunities at the Canadian scale, helping Quebec-based sellers and suppliers read the market more clearly and better orient their business development strategies. Delivered in English, this conference will enable participants to effectively adapt their approach, messaging, and commercial instincts to the realities of British Columbia. Both practical and strategic, it aims to concretely equip sellers, deepen their understanding of the province's mining market, and turn opportunities into lasting, value-driven business relationships.
