MEMO 2015

MEMO 2015 represents one of the mining industry's most important technical conferences, bringing together professionals from across the sector to address critical operational challenges. The four-day event kicks off with registration and an opening reception at the trade show on October 4th, providing immediate networking opportunities for attendees to connect with industry experts and peers. The comprehensive program spans October 5-6 with full technical sessions, an M4S educational show for teachers and students, trade show exhibitions, and structured networking events including lunch and afternoon receptions.

The technical program covers essential topics that reflect the industry's current priorities: mine and infrastructure design and development, safety planning, innovative techniques, technical problem-solving, resource identification and feasibility studies, people and productivity optimization, and energy management. These sessions are specifically tailored for maintenance engineers and mine operators who need practical, actionable insights they can implement in their operations. The conference's theme of "operational threats from conception to closure" addresses the full mining lifecycle, making it relevant for professionals at all stages of project development and operation.

A highlight of the conference is the Monday evening scotch and tapas networking event, which serves as both a relationship-building opportunity and a fundraiser for the CIM Foundation's educational programs. This reflects the mining community's commitment to developing the next generation of industry professionals. The final day includes field trips and hands-on learning experiences, providing practical exposure to operational best practices.

Located at the Shaw Conference Centre in downtown Edmonton, the venue offers convenient access to the city's dining and entertainment options while overlooking the North Saskatchewan River Valley. This setting provides an ideal backdrop for the intensive networking and knowledge sharing that makes MEMO a must-attend event for mining professionals focused on operational excellence and industry advancement.
