About Prague Exploration Convention

Prague Exploration Convention is a mining and metals conference expected to take place May 26–27, 2027 at PVA Expo Prague in Prague, Czech Republic. It runs for two days, opening on Wednesday and closing on Thursday. With more than 7 months to go, there is time to plan the booth, the budget and the meetings properly.

Shows like this one typically draw mine operators, engineers, procurement managers, geologists, equipment suppliers and metals traders. We have not been able to confirm an official website for this show yet, so contact the organizer before making any plans.

What to expect at Prague Exploration Convention

Mining and metals events are technical and equipment-heavy, with large international delegations. Safety, uptime and total cost of ownership dominate conversations.

Two days go by quickly. Book your most important meetings for the first morning, when visitors are fresh, and keep the second afternoon for follow-up conversations at the booth. Expect most visitors to be mine operators and their colleagues, often with a short list of suppliers they want to see.

How exhibitors should prepare for Prague Exploration Convention

Here is a working timeline counted back from the opening day, May 26, 2027 (expected date, so adjust once it is confirmed):

1. 16 weeks before (Feb 3, 2027)
   Confirm your booth space and read the exhibitor manual. Book hotels near PVA Expo Prague while rates are still normal.
2. 8 weeks before (Mar 31, 2027)
   Order booth services (power, internet, furniture, cleaning) before the early-rate deadlines, and send graphics to print.
3. 4 weeks before (Apr 28, 2027)
   Ship freight to the advance warehouse if the organizer offers one. Book meetings with the visitors you most want to see. Set up lead capture and train the team on it.
4. One week before (May 19, 2027)
   Confirm freight arrived, share the staffing schedule, charge every device, and test your lead capture app with Wi-Fi turned off.

Preparation tips for mining and metals shows

• Prepare safety records and certifications.
• Bring uptime and cost-of-ownership data.
• Schedule meetings with operators before the event.

Booth tips for Prague Exploration Convention

• Use models, video or live equipment to show performance.
• Ask about site conditions and current equipment.
• Have technical experts available at peak times.
• Walk the hall at PVA Expo Prague during move-in to see which entrances and aisles carry the most traffic, and set up your booth so it faces that flow.
• Give every person on the booth a clear role (greeting, demos, qualifying) so nobody waits for someone else to start a conversation.
• If you expect local buyers in Czech Republic, bring key material in the local language as well as English, and have prices ready in the local currency.
• Capture every conversation the moment it ends: scan the badge or card, add a one-line note about what the visitor needs, and rate the lead hot, warm or cold. Notes written that evening are already half forgotten.
