The International Kimberlite Conference is the most important scientific and technical event on the kimberlite and diamond geology and exploration. This edition will be held in Gaborone, Botswana  in 2017, marking the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the first economic kimberlite in Botswana, now the Orapa Mine.
