\"CIMIt\u2019s a busy time of year.\u00a0 Last week we were at Coal Prep — the gathering place for the international coal preparation community. Next week, we\u2019ll be at CIM Convention 2015<\/a> in Montreal, the show of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. CIM has over 14,600 members, convened from industry, academia and government, and boast that with 10 Technical Societies and over 35 Branches, their members help shape, lead and connect Canada\u2019s mining industry, both within the borders and across the globe. The show is big and it\u2019s international. \u00a0Since it is in Montreal — where French is the majority language — there is always a high representation of mining people from French speaking countries \u00a0— namely Africa \u2013 and it\u2019s great to meet with customers and experts outside North America who might have a different perspective. According to the show website, \u201cNew Dimensions\u201d is the theme that will drive topics of discussion at the upcoming 2015 CIM Convention taking place May 10 to 13, 2015. In addition to a rigorous technical program, mining will be examined through the lens of employment, innovation, leadership, management, and more. Over 6,000 mining industry professionals are expected to take in the events at the Palais des Congr\u00e8s de Montr\u00e9al. The Expo section will feature nearly 500 companies showcasing the latest in mining equipment, tools, technology and products. I\u2019ll be in Booth #1328 demonstrating how our highly integrated range of instruments, equipment, consumables and laboratory information management software addresses all segments of the mining process, from early stage exploration through processing.\u00a0 We\u2019ll discuss belt conveyor scale integrators<\/a>, metallurgical sampling systems<\/a>, and show how a multi-element probe can provide continuous in stream analysis without the need for liquid nitrogen. Stop by and meet our application experts to discuss your analysis and material handling challenges. If you have some extra time and can spend a few days in the area, there is plenty to do in Montreal<\/a>.\u00a0 I especially like Old Montreal, the Notre-Dame Basilica, and the Museum of Archaeology and History (where you can hop in the elevator and head underground to see what an archaeological dig has revealed about the foundations of the city’s original settlement). If you\u2019re looking for some dining in the area, restaurants per capita is very high.\u00a0 Not to be missed, Gibbys<\/a> in old Montr\u00e9al with its great steak, double baked potatoes, and pickles.\u00a0 Ever hear of \u201cpoutine\u201d (aka A heart attack in a bowl)? Invented in a small town in Quebec, this dish of French fries with cheese curds and BBQ sauce covering the whole thing is the ultimate comfort food, and you can find 30 varieties of it at La Banquise<\/a>. If you find yourself in mile end, pick up a dozen of the best bagels in the area at St-Viateur Bagels<\/a>. (Which is what I did).\u00a0 No worries about closing time; they are open 24 hours a day (and there have been many celebrity sightings there). If you can\u2019t make it to the show, visit our event page<\/a>.\u00a0 Sorry we can\u2019t offer you any poutine, pickles, or bagels, but you can take a look at what you would have seen at our booth.
