7th Asian Aluminium Conference

27 October 2009 - 28 October 2009

As the effects of the global economic crisis continue to be felt, all eyes in the metals business are keenly fixed on the emerging marketplaces of Asia for the first signs of recovery. China, the world’s biggest producer and consumer of both aluminium and copper, is the powerhouse of the Asian region, and consumption trends there strongly influence global supply-demand balances. Moreover, throughout the Asian region,  the infrastructure needs and consumer aspirations of growing populations will also help shape future demand growth curves globally.

Building on the well-established and popular Chinese Aluminium and Copper events, Metal Bulletin is this year launching its Asian Aluminium and Copper Conferences, to reflect the growing importance at global level of this region, from mine to market , from  intraregional trade dynamics to finance and investment issues.

Taking place in Hong Kong, at the hub of this significant marketplace, the Asian Aluminium Conference will examine:
 
  • Chinese politics and economics – implications for aluminium
  • An update on regional smelter projects – are they back track?
  • Consumption prospects in automotive, packaging etc – what timeline for recovery?
  • The raw materials base – from bauxite and alumina to scrap
  • Capacity investment downstream in S E Asia
  • The outlook for prices and premiums – in 2010 and beyond

Two events - one price. When you register your place for 7th Asian Aluminium Conference 2009 you can attend sessions on the 6th Asian Copper Conference as well, giving you a complete overview of the supply chain, allowing you to maximise your time in Asia and make new business contacts.
