Feedback from MagForum 2025
MagForum 2025 has provided me with yet another truly international networking event. To stay up to date with the latest developments in the magnesia industry. My compliments for such a professional organisation.
Alex Medendorp, Director, Magnesium Trade & Consultancy, Netherlands
MagForum 2025 was very well organised – it couldn’t be better. Many interesting papers, great meetings and discussions. We took a lot away from the conference. We are already looking forward to the MagForum 2026.
Spaeter raw materials, Germany
We had a great experience at MagForum 2025, Brazil. Thank you to IMFORMED and the speakers for an excellent and informative event that covered many interesting topics. The conference proved to be a great mix of technical talks and practical learning and a fascinating field trip.
Mayerton Refractories, UK
The event was a valuable opportunity to discuss the market, economic landscape, geopolitical trends, and, most importantly, strengthen business partnerships. Congratulations to IMFORMED for organising such an exceptional event.
Willyan Doim, Product Strategy Manager, Buschle & Lepper, Brazil
Amore Maggiore
For the MagForum 2026 venue we have chosen the excellent Grand Hotel Dino on the shore of Lake Maggiore at Baveno, Italy, which will no doubt be familar to those that attended MagForum 2023.
Beautiful Lake Maggiore is the second largest lake in Italy, and the largest in southern Switzerland. Located halfway between Lake Orta and Lake Lugano, Lake Maggiore extends for about 65km between Locarno and Arona.
The hotel is just 50mins from Milan International Malpensa Airport (more hotel details here).
