The 2015 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Mineral Processors Southern Ontario Branch which will be held on Thursday, September 10th 2015, at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. The format will be the same with a social time at lunch, then the technical program in the afternoon, and wrapped up with a dinner and a guest speaker. The technical program is being reviewed at the moment and details will be sent once completed.
We are offering electronic pre-registration through Eventbrite. Pre-registration will help us get the right number of meals for the dinner. Even with the preferred online pre-registration and payment option, you are still able to pay at the door or by mail if you prefer (just pick the Eventbrite ticket option with the pay by mail or door option). Payment by mail or at the door will be cash or cheque only. Cheques should be addressed to Southern Ontario CMP and can be mailed to me at the address below. Payment by credit card is online only. Registration will be $80/member and $90/non-member.
Sponsorship is as usual a big part of the success of this event. Our sponsors enable us to hold this wonderful event, support students to come to the meeting and to give scholarships to deserving students. This year’s sponsorship is divided into 3 categories: Gold (1000$), Silver (500$) and Bronze (300$). Sponsors logo will be displayed on the screen and on tables at different levels based on the type of sponsors.
