Seequent Set to Showcase AI-Driven Geoscience Breakthroughs at PDAC 2026

Seequent, the Bentley Subsurface Company, has announced its return to the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) Convention from March 1 to 4, 2026.

As a global leader in mining software, the company plans to demonstrate how its latest innovations in artificial intelligence and cloud computing are fundamentally altering the landscape of mineral exploration.

A primary focus of this year’s exhibition is the one-year milestone of Seequent Evo, an open geoscience platform designed to provide the foundation for AI-ready exploration.

By combining machine learning with cloud-enabled workflows, Seequent aims to help geoscientists accelerate the discovery process while significantly reducing the inherent risks and costs of subsurface decision-making.

The convention will feature a major collaborative event on Sunday, March 1, highlighting the partnership between Seequent and Orica Digital Solutions, an integrated workflow between Axis Connect and Leapfrog Geo.

This integration is designed to bridge the traditional gap between geologists and drillers, allowing for a seamless transfer of data that translates geological intelligence directly into drilling execution.

Further exploration of AI’s role in the industry will take place on Monday, March 2. The company will also host its annual “FrogTalk” session on Tuesday to reveal the latest desktop and cloud updates for Leapfrog Geo.

Beyond software demonstrations, Seequent is emphasizing its commitment to the future of the industry by sponsoring the Frank Arnott – Next Generation Explorers Award. This international competition allows university teams to showcase their interpretation of complex exploration datasets to a global audience.

There will also be discussions on how these data-driven insights support the global energy transition and the sustainable development of critical mineral supply chains.

Attendees are also invited to participate in the Seequent Drillhole Planning Contest, a hands-on challenge to design an efficient drillhole within Leapfrog Geo.

Mumbai’s Versova-Bandra Sea Link (VBSL), a 17.17-kilometer, eight-lane bridge set to become India’s second-longest, is being built with the help of digital project management software designed to keep a hugely complex construction effort organized and on schedule. Once finished, the bridge will connect Versova to Bandra and is expected to cut commute times sharply for […]

Automated Calibration Streamlines Travel Demand Modeling

Automated calibration is helping transportation planners make travel demand modeling faster, more efficient and responsive to changing travel patterns. Traditionally, calibrating travel demand models required months of manual adjustments to ensure model results matched real-world data such as traffic counts, transit ridership and household travel surveys. Automated calibration simplifies the process by using optimization algorithms […]
