Maptek Hall of Fame

Congratulations to our award winners!

The Maptek Hall of Fame Award is a special designation given to our most noteworthy customers across the globe for their outstanding dedication and contribution to the mining industry as well as to the improvement of Maptek solutions.

Maptek started this Hall of Fame tradition in 2016 by inducting and celebrating the first award winners at MINExpo. This year, we are again using MINExpo as the venue to celebrate and welcome the newest award winners to our Hall of Fame ranks.

Our Hall of Fame inductees go above and beyond. They are teachers, mentors, and leaders—offering their time to provide thoughtful feedback that creates tangible change and betters the industry for others. We are lucky there is no shortage of great people in our industry who possess these qualities, however, the following five professionals stood out amongst the rest this year.


Congratulations to our award winners!
