Vancouver Resource Investment Conference (VRIC) 2016

The 2016 Vancouver Resource Investment Conference represents the second year of the strategic alignment between Cambridge House International and AME BC, building on the successful integration launched in 2015. This iteration of VRIC continues to focus exclusively on minerals sector companies while benefiting from the enhanced delegate experience created through coordination with the Roundup conference. The event maintains its core mission of connecting mineral exploration companies with investors, but now operates within a more comprehensive week-long mining industry gathering in Vancouver. The 2016 scheduling creates even tighter integration, with VRIC running January 24-25 immediately followed by Roundup January 25-28, with Roundup's pre-conference events strategically scheduled during VRIC's programming. This overlap allows for seamless transition between the investor-focused content of VRIC and the technical programming of Roundup, maximizing value for international attendees who can efficiently participate in both events during a single business trip. For mining companies, this integrated approach provides opportunities to present both to investor audiences seeking financing opportunities and to technical audiences evaluating project merit and industry developments. The continued use of Vancouver Convention Centre West maintains VRIC's established venue relationships while benefiting from the proximity to Roundup's location at the adjacent Convention Centre East. Industry observers will be watching the 2016 event closely to assess the success of the alignment strategy and its impact on attendance, exhibitor participation, and overall value creation for the mineral exploration sector.
