International Investment Conferences (IIC) has hosted over 150 investment conferences for the natural resources sector for over 20 years.
IIC's programs attract more than 10,000 delegates annually, currently in New York and San Francisco. These programs lower the cost of capital for mining projects around the world by attracting funds to publicly traded natural resource corporations. IIC has educated more than 120,000 investors over the last decade.
Hard Assets Investment Conferences are offered at major US financial hubs throughout the year, attracting up to 3,000 sophisticated private investors, fund managers and financial specialists to each event. Admission is free with pre-registration and includes presentations by rising producers and promising explorers, stock picks and strategies by global economists and market analysts, and interactive workshops by the leading financial newsletter editors. Over 100 exhibiting mining executives find US financing, increase shareholders and meet new partners at these events.
Companies that participate in IIC investment programs are afforded the best opportunity to establish relationships with a well qualified shareholder base among U.S., Canadian and international investors. Over 40% of the world’s investable funds are located in the United States, making the U.S. an essential market for publicly traded companies. One half of the world's individual investors also reside in the United States.
Delegates who participate in IIC conferences develop essential knowledge, and experience first-hand the rewards and risks of investing in more than 130 mineral-rich countries around the world. They personally meet the policymakers of these nations, and hear case studies of successful and unsuccessful ventures. IIC conferences provide companies with an ideal platform on which to build shareholder base, and with exposure to the most influential professionals specializing in natural resources worldwide.
