PDAC: The World’s Premier Mineral Exploration & Mining Convention is the leading convention for people, companies and organizations in, or connected with, mineral exploration. In addition to meeting over 1,100 exhibitors, 2,500 investors and 25,800 attendees from 132 countries, you can also attend technical sessions, short courses and networking events. The four-day annual convention held in Toronto, Canada, has grown in size, stature and influence since it began in 1932 and today is the event of choice for the world’s mineral industry.

India, with the scientific support of Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka will be hosting the 36th IGC at Delhi during 2-8 March 2020. With as many as 12 Plenary Talks by outstanding geoscientists from across the globe, 44 science themes, 71 exciting field trips spread in India and neighboring countries, a far-reaching Geohost Program, a massive Geoexpo, and many other attractions, the Congress promises to be a truly memorable experience.

The School of Earth Sciences and the SEG-UWA Student Chapter are pleased to invite you to a Lecture given by Steve Garwin and Robert Loucks. "Regional controls and prospectivity to the Cu-Au mineralization in the eastern Sunda Arc of Indonesia."

The EGU General Assembly 2020 will bring together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary and space sciences. The EGU aims to provide a forum where scientists, especially early career researchers, can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience. The EGU is looking forward to cordially welcoming you in Vienna.

Once in a decade, the CSPG, CSEG and CWLS partner with GAC, MAC and IAH to bring together a fully integrated geoscience program. GeoConvention 2020 is your once-in-a-decade opportunity to learn and knowledge share with a wide variety of earth science professionals. Whether your focus is petroleum, base and precious metals, geophysics, groundwater, bedrock and seabed mapping, geohazards, uranium or environmental remediation, GeoConvention 2020 will present the latest developments across a complete spectrum of Earth Science professionals. This is your ultimate opportunity to gain insight to your profession and the earth, sharing experiences and knowledge with your pears from across Canada and the world.

The Economic Geology Research Centre (EGRU) at James Cook University, in association with the Geological Survey of Queensland are hosting the second workshop on the Minerals Systems of the Mount Isa Inlier, in Cloncurry. This is the fourth in the series of workshops that aim to bring together academia and industry for a series of technical talks, from invited speakers, to showcase the diverse deposits of the region.

ICESES 2020: International Conference on Earth Sciences and Exploration Seismology aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of Earth Sciences and Exploration Seismology. It also provides a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of Earth Sciences and Exploration Seismology.

In September 2020, the Bowen Basin Geologist’s Group (BBGG) will conduct its 8th Bowen Basin Symposium titled “Beyond 2020: The Future of Coal”. The Bowen Basin Symposium is held once every 5 years and has been a resounding success since its inception in 1985. The Symposium usually attracts over 500 delegates and aims to foster the exchange of ideas for the solution of common problems and challenges; and to maintain an awareness of new technologies provided through oral and poster presentations and trade displays.

The aim of this 3-day conference is to promote progress at the leading edge of this topic through presentations and open-forum discussion. We will focus on the current state-of-the-art in isotope geochemistry including: Advances in geochronology Novel and non-traditional isotope systems Advances in techniques and instrumentation Isotope tracers and planetary evolution Isotope distributions in crystals

SEG [Society of Economic Geologists] IS CELEBRATING ITS 100TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2020. The annual conference in Whistler, BC, Canada, will showcase the new science and thinking that will benefit society in the future, framed by the understanding of the scientific accomplishments in economic geology and mineral discoveries over the last 100 years.

The road to Houston in 2020 is filled with opportunity. Take the driver’s seat as an exhibitor or sponsor at the world’s premier geophysical event.

The Geological Society of Australia invites you to Hobart for the Australian Earth Sciences Convention ‘Core to Cosmos’, on the 9-12 February, 2021. The convention will showcase current trends and advances in earth science, including the latest findings on the deep structure and composition of our planet, our diverse crust and surface environments, developments in the energy and resources sectors and critically, the essential role that geoscience plays in our sustainable future. Tasmania’s rich geological past has resulted in a varied and beautiful landscape, unique flora and fauna and a colourful mining history which has underpinned the local economy for more than a century. We hope that you can come south, enjoy our temperate summer and local attractions, and participate in a program showcasing the best of Australian earth science as well as field trips focussed on Tasmania’s diverse geology. We look forward to seeing you in Hobart! Convention Co-Chairs A/Prof. Sebastien Meffre & Dr Andrew McNeill
