Lineup 👀 CEM Whistler 2025

The CEM summit this weekend in Whistler will focus on new investment opportunities driven by the impending tariff policies

Whistler Capital Event set to unlock new growth in the age of Trump

Challenges and opportunities in the global mining sector will take centre stage at this weekend’s CEM Whistler Capital Event, where investment leaders will strategize on navigating the risks and opportunities posed by Donald Trump’s potential tariff policies.

Over three days, beginning Feb. 21, executives from scores of mining and resource companies will join industry leaders in the technology and biotech sectors to unlock new growth in a changing economic climate.

While a proposed 25% levy on imports from Canada and Mexico, along with a 10% tariff on Canadian energy and critical minerals may increase production costs and disrupt supply chains, it is also creating new investment opportunities, said Ryan Iverson, CEM Partner/Portfolio Manager.

"I expect the conference climate over the weekend and during the one-on-one sessions to be ‘Trumpy,’ with a high chance of tariff talk spawning inflationary fears which bodes well for precious metals," he said.

These curated one-on-one meetings at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler will culminate in the much-anticipated Investor Breakout Exchange, where attendees will select their Top Picks from a showcase of promising ventures.
