International Iron Ore Symposium 2008

12 May 2008 - 14 May 2008

As the oldest and best-established Iron ore event in the world, Metal Bulletin Event's International Iron Ore Symposium is the only place where all the industries top executives meet to deliver their views, share their vision, and discuss the future of the markets. This event, the 15th in the series, is set to take place in the Fairmont Hotel Monte Carlo, Monaco, on the back of the historical Grand Prix. 
 
There has never been a hotter moment for iron ore, and we expect this to be reflected at our event. Given these prosperous times, we are expecting a record audience this year of over 350 influential delegates, and hope that Monte Carlo will provide a sensational setting for a memorable conference.
 
The conference will take an in-depth look at the current and future developments of the industry in view of surging demand and further consolidation, and will closely examine all the factors that affect the profitability of global iron ore mining.

The proceedings will include keynote presentations and numerous panel sessions. These will be delivered by senior industry executives and analysts, eager to network with the hugely influential delegation.
