The 81st CDDA Annual General Meeting & Convention returns May 24–26, 2026 at the Delta Hotels Victoria Ocean Pointe Resort in Victoria, BC and with our vibrant “Viva Victoria” theme, we’re planning three standout days of networking, technical sessions, mini-tradeshow exhibits, and industry recognition, including a keynote presentation from John Westhaver.
Sponsorship is what makes this event possible each year, from bringing the keynote speaker to the stage, to creating meaningful networking opportunities, to delivering high-quality technical programming and an unforgettable delegate experience. It also helps us keep the Convention valuable for members across the industry.
This year’s Convention experience includes:
- Three days of connection and learning through technical sessions, mini trade show exhibits, and member engagement
- An optional golf day for additional relationship-building
- An evening reception hosted at Elements Casino
- And our signature celebration: the 2026 CDDA Annual Safety Awards Gala: A Red Carpet Vegas Night to Remember
This evening gala is an evening of celebration, entertainment, and recognition as we honour excellence, safety, and innovation across the diamond drilling industry.
Throughout the night, we’ll recognize recipients of the Lifetime Member Award, Bring It to the Surface Ambassador Award, Contractor Safety Appreciation Award, Manufacturer Safety Appreciation Award, and Supplier Appreciation Award. Spotlighting the leadership and commitment that continues to move our industry forward.
Guests can also expect classic Vegas flair, including a Meet & Mingle with Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, followed by a high-energy tribute show featuring Elvis and Rod Stewart impersonators.
We invite companies to support this year’s Convention through sponsorship. Your partnership directly supports the programming, venues, awards, networking opportunities, and the overall experience that brings our industry together each year.
We offer four sponsorship tiers, Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze, each with unique promotional benefits. Sponsors receive recognition through CDDA social media, our website, newsletters, and prominent visibility at the convention, including logo placement on the official event banner and product image or logo placement on the technical presentation room slideshow. Sponsors will also be acknowledged throughout the event by our Convention Chair.
We thank our members in advance for their continued support of the Association and the 81st CDDA AGM & Convention, and we look forward to welcoming you all in May 2026! We’ve already received a strong number of delegate registrations from a wide variety of companies, and the early momentum has us especially excited for what promises to be an outstanding Convention.
