Cambridge House

What Cambridge House does

Cambridge House International Inc. is a privately held Vancouver-based events company founded in 1995 that operates the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference (VRIC), an annual resource investment conference in its 25th year as of 2026. The company serves two primary customer groups: individual and institutional resource/commodity investors seeking exposure to mining and minerals opportunities, and junior and mid-tier mining companies seeking investor access and capital-raising visibility. Its single core product, VRIC, scaled to 9,000+ attending investors, 120+ keynote speakers, and 300+ mining company exhibitors in recent editions, with the broader Cambridge House audience reaching 100,000+ via its newsletter subscriber base. Supplementary product offerings include the Resource Investing Guide eBook used as a content marketing lead magnet.

The business operates a straightforward event-driven B2B2C model. Revenue is generated from two streams: ticket sales to investors (sold direct-to-consumer through the cambridgehouse.com self-serve portal) and exhibitor booth and sponsorship fees from mining companies. No ticket pricing is publicly disclosed. Distribution relies on an owned multi-channel marketing footprint spanning YouTube, Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, and a 100,000+ subscriber email newsletter, supplemented by eBook content marketing. The company is led by CEO Jay Martin, who also serves as host of VRIC.

Cambridge House's registered office is located at WeWork c/o Cambridge House, 595 Burrard St, Vancouver, BC, Canada, with operations concentrated in North America (Canada and USA). The company employs 11-50 people and has no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, subsidiaries, or material M&A activity. No proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, mobile applications, or third-party integrations are disclosed. Endorsement relationships with sector figures at Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management, Sprott US Holdings, Curzio Research, and Outsider Club reinforce brand positioning but are testimonial in nature rather than formal commercial partnerships. The 2027 edition of VRIC is scheduled for January 24-25, 2027.

Direct peers

• 121 Mining Investment: Runs a series of in-person mining investment events in London, New York, Hong Kong, and other financial centres, pairing listed and near-production miners with funds. Highly comparable to Cambridge House in product, target customer, and revenue model.
• Denver Gold Group: Organises the long-running Denver Gold Forum and related precious-metals investment events. Comparable to Cambridge House VRIC as a focused resource-investment conference serving miners, funds, and investors in the gold and precious-metals niche.
• International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC): Large annual mining and resources conference held in Melbourne. Comparable to Cambridge House VRIC as a large-scale, multi-day mining investment and networking event, though with a stronger institutional and international-mining mix.
• Mines and Money: Global portfolio of in-person mining investment conferences (London, Hong Kong, etc.) connecting mining companies with institutional and HNW investors. Directly comparable to Cambridge House in product format, customer segments, and event-driven revenue model.
• The MoneyShow: Long-running U.S. organiser of in-person and virtual investor conferences (MoneyShow Las Vegas, MoneyShow Orlando, etc.) covering stocks, commodities, and trading strategies. Closely comparable to Cambridge House as a ticketed investor-conference business serving retail and self-directed investors with similar keynote + exhibitor formats.
• Precious Metals Summit Conferences: Organises invitation-only precious-metals investment conferences (Beaver Creek, Zurich). Directly comparable to Cambridge House in serving the same junior-mining and resource-investor audience via curated, high-touch conference formats.

Broad incumbents

• Cape Town Mining Indaba: Africa's largest mining investment conference, gathering mining majors, juniors, and global investors. Comparable to Cambridge House in serving the mining-investor intersection at scale, though it skews more institutional and global than VRIC.
• BMO Capital Markets Global Metals & Mining Conference: Long-running institutional mining-investor conference hosted by a major investment bank, featuring listed mining companies and institutional investors. Comparable to Cambridge House in audience overlap but operationally distinct (institutional, invite-only, run by a sell-side bank rather than an independent organiser).
• Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC Convention): Operates the PDAC Convention in Toronto, the world's largest annual mining investment and mineral-exploration gathering. Comparable to Cambridge House VRIC in serving the same mining-investor intersection, but at a much larger institutional scale and a not-for-profit industry-association model.

Regional players

• Vulcan Post / The Northern Miner Conference Series: Mining industry publisher (The Northern Miner) that organises mining-investment content events and conferences in Canada. Comparable to Cambridge House in serving Canadian resource investors via editorial and event channels, though with a primarily trade-press/editorial business model.
