VID

What VID does

VID Conferences, operating under the legal entity VID Media Inc., is a privately held Canadian company that operates a specialized virtual and in-person conference platform focused exclusively on the mining and natural resources sector. The company was founded by Joanne Jobin, a capital markets and investor relations executive with 25+ years of experience including senior IRO roles at IAMGOLD, Yamana Gold, Barrick Gold, Noront Resources, Excellon Resources, Jaguar Mining, and Schwazze. The platform is built on three core product offerings: VID Town Halls (live interactive investor presentations with 30-minute company presentations followed by 15-20 minutes of moderated Q&A), VID Stream (live event streaming with full production setup to a global investor audience), and VID Chat (professionally produced pre-recorded 15-20 minute executive presentations). All three products share a common distribution infrastructure reaching 5,500+ registered VID followers across YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and email newsletters, with press release amplification via Newsfile.

VID generates revenue through professional service fees charged to publicly traded mining and resource companies (issuers) for event hosting, production, distribution, and analytics. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates on a quoted, multi-year contract basis. Distribution is achieved through direct sales led by the founder and a small professional team, supplemented by a self-serve website with "Request a Demo" CTAs. Beyond the virtual products, VID also produces THE Mining Investment Event of the North, Canada's only Tier 1 mining investment conference held annually in Quebec City with 800+ participants, and operates an affiliated capital markets advisory firm (IR.INC) and a charitable initiative (SHE-Co Fund). The company serves two primary customer segments: mining and resource issuers seeking cost-effective investor engagement channels, and institutional/retail investors seeking direct access to management.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• ON24: Enterprise virtual-events and webinar platform with a dedicated investor-relations/webcasting use case. A larger, more generalist competitor whose feature set overlaps with VID Stream and Town Halls.
• Bizzabo: Event-experience platform offering hybrid/in-person and virtual event tools with analytics, sponsor management, and registration. Comparable to VID Stream and Town Halls for clients considering platform-grade event infrastructure.
• Q4 Inc. Public-company IR platform offering virtual events, webcasting, IR websites, and analytics. A larger, capital-markets-focused incumbent that competes with VID's Town Hall and Stream products at enterprise issuers.
• Notified: IR and PR technology suite (formerly West Corporation) including webcasting, earnings calls, and press-release distribution. Competes broadly with VID's bundled video + press-release offering for public-company investor communications.
• Zoom Video Communications (Zoom Events / Zoom Webinars): General-purpose video and webinar platform often used by smaller issuers as a low-cost substitute for turnkey investor town halls. Represents the lower-priced, generalist competitive floor for VID's products.

Regional players

• Cambridge House International: Operator of the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference (VRIC) and other resource-investor events. Directly comparable as a North-America-based mining-investment conference organizer with similar issuer-investor audiences.
• Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC): Annual Toronto-based mining investment convention hosting thousands of issuers, investors, and governments. A larger, Canadian-rooted incumbent mining-conference operator that sets the competitive bar for THE Mining Investment Event of the North.

Direct peers

• 121 Group (Resourcing Tomorrow / Mines and Money): Operator of the long-running Mines and Money / Resourcing Tomorrow mining-investment conference series. Directly comparable as a mining-focused investor-events business running both live and virtual components for resource issuers.
• IR.INC: Capital-markets and IR advisory firm also founded by VID's CEO, providing IR advice to natural-resource and financial clients alongside VID's investor-event products. Same buyer, same founder, complementary services.
• Newsfile Corp: Press-release distribution and regulatory filing services widely used by TSX/CSE-listed mining issuers. Newsfile is embedded into VID's Town Hall bundle as a distribution partner, serving the same issuer-investor audience.
