Important Announcement Regarding the 2013 Metals & Minerals Chicago

The organizers of the Metals & Minerals Investment Conference (formerly known as the Hard Assets Investment Conference) regretfully announced today they are suspending the 2013 Chicago event. The current challenged metals market have led us to make the difficult decision to suspend the event in the best interest of our participants. We have comprehensively assessed the value of the opportunities available and the financial and personal investment of our key stakeholders – attendees, sponsors, speakers, and partners. As organizers we are committed to delivering quality content and the best networking platform for all of our participants. When obstacles, market conditions or otherwise, prohibit us from fulfilling the mission of the event, as organizers we must make the right decision.

We will continue to evaluate and assess a later date for the Chicago area for the Metals and Minerals Investment Conference when the market will be conducive to maximize the very opportunities we have been presenting throughout the last 20 years of the Hard Assets Investment Conferences.

To our most loyal supporters we apologize. We want you to know we are committed to educating and bringing new opportunities in this investment category and will continue to assess all viable markets in order to continue this mission. We will continue with our highly popular annual New York Metals & Minerals Conference, next edition upcoming on May 12-13 2014 and the San Francisco Metals & Minerals Conference upcoming on November 25-26, 2013.

Sincerely,
Metals & Minerals Investment Conference
