With a variety of professionals (predominantly from the Mining Industry) present, we were exposed to innovative technology to detect mineral deposits, businesses on the verge of a gold exploration break through and much more.
I strongly believe GIS is more than the technology, but is a tool necessary within other industries. Therefore, understanding the inner working of another field, such as Mining, is the first step to apply GIS. This conference has exposed me to a new world of GIS application; This includes companies in the business to map current mining production spatially across Canada, process digital imagery to seek out mineral deposits during the Mining Exploration phase, and even companies in transition between software. Ie. CAD to GIS or vice versa- Needing GIS professionals to assist.
I would attend the 2013 PDAC Conference for the information, networking and an overall great time.
Cheers.
