The attendance was added-to and driven-by the attendance of over 700 mining company personnel. The supply chain persons in attendance commented, “Almost every third person we saw was from a mining company.” That perception was very accurate, as almost a third of the total attendance was from mining companies.
With over 2,300 people attending, the 16th Annual 2024 Saskatchewan Mining Supply Chain Forum (MSCF) was the largest ever – seeing attendance grow by over 25%. There was also a record 380 tradeshow booths – up 15% from the year prior – that sold-out in only 2 weeks. Sponsorship for the event sold-out in less than one day.

The event began on April 16th with an Indigenous business event and the tradeshow being setup. On April 17th, the event itself opened with a series of procurement and market related updates. The day also included an SMR workshop.
A procurement panel with K+S, Nutrien, Cameco, and BHP.
The event then dovetailed into the busy and exciting tradeshow.
