As IMFORMED nears its eighth anniversary, Mike and Ismene would like to thank all our customers, sponsors, friends, and families for their unstinting support during 2022.
The last three years has been challenging, particularly 2020-21, and 2022 should perhaps be marked as a year in transition: the world cautiously exited pandemic lockdowns and returned to travel and “normal” business as much as possible.
However, for the first six months of 2022 at least, this was by no means universal, and covid-related disruption for some countries, particularly China, continued right through the year.
The tragic Russia-Ukraine war was also added to the ongoing challenges facing the minerals business and markets. Sadly this continues, as do other pressures on logistics, energy costs and transition.
For IMFORMED, while it was certainly a relief to return to in-person conferences and to catch-up with customers, it was also our most intense year since our launch in 2015.
Business opened up rapidly after a tricky 2-year “online sabbatical”, and while we had to work around some continuing disruption, opportunities arose leading to the successful addition of two more conferences to our schedule (ANFRE Refractory Raw Materials Congress & Salt Forum).
We look forward to maintaining our high quality events for what we hope will be an exciting, if more settled 2023 (see below for events listing).
May we take this opportunity to wish all of you a most Happy, Peaceful, and Prosperous New Year, and very much look forward to continuing our business and meeting with you in 2023.
