Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at AME Roundup usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
Confirm the 2027 dates, venue and registration route on roundup.amebc.ca before booking; check whether any short courses or partner events require separate sign-up.
Book YVR flights and downtown Vancouver lodging early, because late January is a busy conference period and hotels near Vancouver Convention Centre East fill quickly.
Check Canadian entry requirements for your passport: an eTA or visitor visa may be needed, and business visitors should carry registration confirmation and an invitation if available.
Plan the YVR arrival transfer: the Canada Line SkyTrain connects the airport to downtown Vancouver, with a short walk or taxi onward to the convention centre; confirm current fares and Compass or contactless payment options.
Build a session shortlist from the Schedule at a Glance, covering technical talks, short courses, capital markets sessions and partner events that match your commodity or project stage.
Reserve separate exhibit-floor time to meet drilling contractors, assay laboratories, geophysical survey providers, software vendors and equipment suppliers relevant to your projects.
Prepare project summaries and technical questions in advance, especially for core displays, assay QA/QC, critical minerals and permitting conversations.
Check the programme for the Icebreaker Reception and other networking events; these are useful for meeting exploration company representatives early in the convention.
Pack waterproof layers, warm midlayers and comfortable shoes for cool, wet Vancouver winter weather, and allow for rain on the walk between hotels and the venue.
Confirm badge pickup hours, venue security and bag policy before you travel, and keep a digital and printed copy of your registration.
Plan short hops between downtown hotels and Vancouver Convention Centre East using walking, SkyTrain, bus or taxi, especially during heavy rain.
Set up a lead follow-up system before the show so conversations with contractors, labs and investors become project-specific next steps after the convention.
Check accessibility requirements, dietary needs for receptions and any mobility needs with the organiser or venue in advance.
Leave buffer time for winter flight delays and customs, and avoid scheduling tight same-day connections around the convention programme.
