# Event Details - **Event Name**: IMDEX Presents: Xploration Tech Symposium | Vancouver 2027 - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 22 Jan, 2027 at 08:00 am – Fri, 22 Jan, 2027 at 05:30 pm (-08:00) - **Event Description**: Discover the future of mining tech at the Xploration Tech Symposium - innovation, insights & industry leaders all in one place.About this EventNow in its 12th year, the Xploration Tech Symposium (XTS) has become a highly regarded forum for geoscientists, researchers, innovators and mining professionals to explore the future of mineral exploration and geoscience.Held annually in Vancouver alongside the AME Roundup Conference, XTS brings together leading voices from industry, academia and technology to share ideas, challenge conventional thinking and discuss the opportunities shaping the future of our industry.Hosted by IMDEX, XTS is designed as a neutral platform for technical discussion and collaboration. Rather than focusing on products or commercial outcomes, the symposium creates space for open dialogue, knowledge sharing and meaningful industry conversations.Join us for a full day of presentations, panel discussions and networking with a highly engaged audience of geologists, geoscientists and exploration leaders from around the world.2027 Theme: Da Vinci to Amazon: From Creativity to Scale in GeoscienceAt its core, this year's theme explores one of the mining industry's most persistent challenges: translating geoscience data into actionable, scalable decisions.Across the mining value chain, geoscience operates in fundamentally different modes—from creative discovery, to structured interpretation, to repeatable execution. Yet these stages are often disconnected, leading to lost value, misalignment and missed opportunities.XTS 2027 explores how we better connect these different "personalities" of geoscience to unlock more value from the subsurface.What to ExpectTechnical presentations from industry and research leadersInteractive panel discussionsThought-provoking conversations on the future of geoscienceA highly engaged audience of geologists and geoscientistsCatering throughout the dayPost-event networking drinks in downtown VancouverSpeaker AnnouncementsSpeaker announcements and programme updates will be released in the lead-up to the event.RegistrationPlaces are limited.Secure your place and join the conversation shaping the future of geoscience.Symposium AgendaDa Vinci: Exploration as Art & AnomalyInfo: Discovery, creativity, and the search for the unknown. Exploration operates at the edge of uncertainty, where success depends on identifying anomalies, embracing ambiguity, and thinking creatively - much like Da Vinci himself. This session will explore how innovation, intuition, and new technologies are shaping the future of discovery.Transfer Function: From Discovery to DefinitionInfo: Translating geoscience into structured, usable insight. Between discovery and mining lies the most fragile step: converting complex, often messy data into models that can be trusted and acted upon. This session examines the “transfer function” - the tools, workflows, and thinking required to transform exploration outputs into defined, mineable knowledgeAmazon: Scaling Insight into ExecutionInfo: Predictability, scalability, and operational excellence. Mining demands consistency, repeatability, and scale - a mindset more aligned with companies like Amazon than traditional exploration. This session explores how geoscience insights are operationalised into systems, processes, and decisions that enable efficient, scalable resource extractionNetworking Drinks🕑: 05:30 PMNetworking DrinksInfo: Following the symposium, attendees are invited to continue conversations and networking in a relaxed setting. Venue: Steamworks Brewpub (short walk from the symposium). - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/vancouver/imdex-presents-xploration-tech-symposium-vancouver-2027/100001991891158074 - **Event Categories**: business, art, conferences, contests - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 9 hours 30 minutes - Location: Morris J Wosk Centre for Dialogue - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 141.91, max: 177.06, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Vancouver - **state**: BC - **country**: Canada - **location**: Morris J Wosk Centre for Dialogue - **lat**: 49.2843519 - **long**: -123.11289779999998 - **full address**: Morris J Wosk Centre for Dialogue, 580 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: IMDEX Presents: Xploration Tech Symposium | Vancouver 2027 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/37433ccc3346e25707a8f8352347ca452728581034a80e0ed3bb17ac88fb6429-rimg-w1200-h600-dc022643-gmir.jpg?v=1783362474 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is IMDEX Presents: Xploration Tech Symposium | Vancouver 2027 being held? - **A:** IMDEX Presents: Xploration Tech Symposium | Vancouver 2027 takes place on Fri, 22 Jan, 2027 at 08:00 am to Fri, 22 Jan, 2027 at 05:30 pm at Morris J Wosk Centre for Dialogue, 580 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing IMDEX Presents: Xploration Tech Symposium | Vancouver 2027? - **A:** IMDEX Presents: Xploration Tech Symposium | Vancouver 2027 is organized by IMDEX. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
