Since 2003 the SDIMI conference series has brought engineers, government officials, researchers, technical experts and non-governmental organizations together creating a community of mineral professionals who evaluate the challenges of creating and implementing sustainable practices in the mineral extraction industry.

The 7th SDIMI conference is being held at the University of British Colombia in Vancouver, British Colombia in July 2015. In keeping with the “Milos Declaration” this year’s conference will focus on integrating economics, community, environment and governance.

The objective of SDIMI2015 is to utilize the scientific, technical, educational and research potential of the mineral extraction community to contribute to a sustainable future.
