A sneak peek at Capital Projects Symposium 2026

The future of mining operations hinges on the success of capital projects—and in today’s market, the margin for error has never been smaller. Navigating tighter capital discipline, market volatility, and mounting stakeholder scrutiny requires a new level of alignment and strategy.

Finding certainty in that environment is the core focus of the Capital Projects Symposium (CPS) 2026, returning November 8–10 at Toronto's Chelsea Hotel.

If you are involved in planning, financing, or executing major developments in the mining sector, here is a quick breakdown of what you need to know about this key industry event.

What is the symposium about?

CPS 2026 is a focused forum dedicated to the decisions that define mining capital project success. The global program spans three days of technical sessions, short courses, and networking events designed to address the full project lifecycle.

From securing financing and reducing early-stage execution risk to evaluating contracting strategies, navigating ESG expectations, and building resilient partnership models, the symposium focuses on practical, real-world insight. Attendees will dive into candid case studies exploring what worked, what failed, and what project teams would do differently to preserve value in volatile markets.
