The Delegation Program

Program & Agenda

Six core days in Zambia, built around the Insaka Mining Investment Summit — with government access, matchmaking, Copperbelt site visits, and dedicated deal time.

October 4–9, 2026 · Ciela Resort, Lusaka, Zambia · in conjunction with the Insaka Mining Investment Summit

The delegation runs alongside the Insaka Mining Investment Summit at the Ciela Resort in Lusaka. The structure balances formal Summit programming with the things delegates value most: government and agency access, U.S. Commercial Service matchmaking, open deal time, and on-site visits to active Copperbelt operations.

The schedule below is a working outline. Day 2 institutional meetings are optional and chosen by each attendee, and the post-program weekend (Days 7–8) is optional, with arranged Zambia excursions available at additional cost.
