Canadian Aboriginal Minerals Association

The opportunity in attending, meeting and listening to other First Nation representatives and express their experiences with industry is invaluable. I look forward to attending CAMA 2018.

I found this years conference very informative, the networking opportunities and information gathered here will far exceed the walls of the conference. Thank you once again for the amazing opportunity to participate in CAMA 2017

Well attended , by industry and indigenous communities from across Canada providing an excellent networking opportunity.

Meeting representatives from various Aboriginal communities was invaluable. Hearing individuals express their experiences associated with the persistent impacts of residential schools on entire communities (not simply those that were scooped) provided me with greater insight and will serve to inform my work moving forward.

My conference attendance was my first time at a CAMA event and I found my attendance very beneficial. The topics were interesting and timely, the speakers provided new insights and the attendees had diverse perspectives.

CAMA was a rich experience full of various perspectives, and at times, passionate dialogue – a factor missing from most other conferences. The food was delicious and plentiful. MC was warm and hilarious. Networking was excellent and great to reconnect with old colleagues/friends. I would only encourage the panel discussions to have more dialogue with each other and banter, rather than the pre-planned Q&A – spontaneous discussion is more memorable.

Good panels and topics but I think it should be less expensive to have a booth at the show. There are some smaller vendors that would benefit by presenting their products and services.

As this was my first CAMA experience, I will definitely be returning next year. A very well run conference.

Elize was great! However, I am truly irritated that I have to enter 100 characters to complete this survey. Really!?

I was very satisfied after receiving a response and explanation. I look forward to attending the 25 Anniversary of the Canadian Aboriginal Minerals Association.

Good. Received to many emails through out the whole process also having to right 100 words should not be mandatory

This will be our first time attending the conference in November but we have been impressed with everything so far!

Very informative of activities from other Indigenous groups in Canada, to adapt to our own plan or strategies.
Look forward to the CAMA conference each year.

Great meeting and networking. Very well organised. Great facility. Can wait for the next one nest year, Maybe look at inviting more mining companies and personnel's.

I was disappointed with the President's dinner, the price was high and they didn't even ask for our ticket, so anyone could've walked in. There wasn't as many vendors as in Vancouver. There were some delays.

I really enjoyed attending the CAMA conference and would greatly appreciate to have more opportunities to interact with the participants and speakers.

The conference continues to meet the needs of the many diverse members in providing current information on topics of interest; and, providing the networking forum to encourage the exchange of information from differing perspectives.

As a sponsor and delegate I found this year to be very unorganized. I did not receive any information about the trade show until the day I was travelling to Ottawa, when I checked into the hotel they did not have any idea where things were happening, I had to leave everything for our booth in my truck. There was not much traffic at the trade show and in conversation with different people they didn't even know it was going on and as well it was not clearly identified. This has been my 4th CAMA and there was something really missing this year, hopefully next year in Toronto will be better.

Having not been in attendance for a couple of conferences, it was nice to get back and to see many of the attendees whom attend on an annual basis and to see the new community leaders in attendance.

conference is low key and comfortable. It has relevant attendees, guests etc. the panel discussions could be sharpened somewhat, can drag on sometimes. The idea is good but needs good management and challenging questions that push the debate. Overall a good conference, one of the better ones that we attend.

This was my first year at CAMA in Ottawa Ontario. Great hotel choice to host the event. The workshops and presenters had great topics and the message was clearly delivered. Great food, great social attendance, great performers.

Everything went smoothly
