Volunteer Opportunities 

PDAC’s annual Convention is the world’s premier meeting of mineral explorationists, developers, investors, corporate and investment bankers, financiers, analysts and government representatives.

The Convention offers volunteers the opportunity to exchange their time for a complimentary All Access Pass to the convention. In addition, volunteers receive volunteer apparel, food vouchers (for a meal before or after each shift), a $25 gift card, and a certificate of participation.

Make an impression, build on your knowledge and develop your network! The world renowned PDAC Convention offers volunteers a unique opportunity to connect with industry professionals.
