SIM Senegal

According to the organiser, the 9th SIM Senegal runs from 2 to 4 November 2027. The conference is at the Centre International de Conferences Abdou Diouf (CICAD) and the exhibition is at the Centre des Expositions in Diamniadio, Senegal. TradeShowBuzz lists the same dates and names only the conference centre as the venue, so use the organiser's two venues when you plan your trip.

The organiser says the event is organised by the Ministry of Energy, Petroleum and Mines of Senegal in association with AME Trade, and describes it as the only event supported by the Senegalese government dedicated to expanding the country's mining sector. The organiser calls it a bi-annual mining event, and TradeShowBuzz lists it as biennial. The 2027 theme is Mineral Resources: A Lever for Economic Sovereignty.

The organiser lists a three-day trade event, a two-day conference with roundtables and online Q&A, a dedicated mobile app for contacts and networking, and a B2B area with cocktails and gala dinners. Other features include the 2nd International Congress on Geodiversity, Geopatrimony, Geotourism, Geoeducation, Geoparks and Sustainable Development Goals, the Min'Ovation Hackathon, a Mining Investment Battlefield for licence holders to meet investors, and a Mining Student Recruitment Fair.

The organiser says visas are no longer required for all nationalities travelling to Senegal, except for travellers from Palestine, Macao, South Sudan and Hong Kong. You need a return ticket and confirmation of accommodation. It also advises booking airport transfers directly with your hotel, and says a yellow fever vaccination given at least ten days before entry is required. The Diamniadio Exhibition Center is about 30 minutes from downtown Dakar.

The organiser has an online registration form with steps for your information, tickets, a summary, and invoice and payment. When we read the organiser's website, ticket prices were not shown without completing the form. Exhibitors can request the official floor plan through a form on the exhibition page, and the exhibitor page lists mota@ametrade.org to discuss exhibiting options. The organiser's partner hotel rates are available on request.
