Dear colleagues and partners,
I would like to inform you that the holding of the sixth edition of the European Mining Business Forum is postponed to 2022. This was due to the emergency and the measures taken to counter the spread of COVID-19 in Europe. We continue to work on the organization of the Forum and will offer you an even more useful and interesting program.
I am pleased to announce that next year the Bulgarian Chamber of Mining and Geology is celebrating its 30th anniversary, which will be celebrated appropriately during the Forum.
We will soon inform you of the new EMBF 2022 date and look forward to your support and active participation to make this an important event for the industry.
We look forward to seeing you at EMBF 2022!
