Good vibrations were felt all around at last week’s MagForum 2026 held by IMFORMED at the Grand Dino Hotel, Baveno, on the wonderful Lake Maggiore, Italy, 18-20 May.
Amid the beautiful backdrop of Italy’s finest lakes and mountains, some 165 attendees across the global magnesia supply chain and consuming market sectors gathered to network and discuss the latest trends and developments shaping the magnesia mineral market.
A packed programme of expert speakers covered a wide range of topics including:
Strategic Developments | Steel & Metals Markets | Carbon Footprint | Dead Burned Magnesia | Fused Magnesia | Decarbonisation | Mine Tailings Treatment | High Purity Markets | Chemical Magnesia | Heating Elements | Mg Metal | Alternative Source Projects

High profile speakers presented some excellent topics (left to right): Alex Medendorp, Magnesium Trade & Consultancy, on “The New World Order”; Nicolas Gangutia, RHI Magnesita, on “2035 Strategy”, and Mustafa Cavac, Kumas, on “Dead Burned Magnesia.”
Participating in the MagForum in Baveno this May was an incredibly valuable experience and a great reminder of how important global industry forums are for driving meaningful conversations, connections, and innovation across the sector. The high-level event also brought highly relevant discussions and insights through its plenary sessions and presentations.
Marcela Freeman, Head of Commercial Management/Minerals, RHI Magnesita, BrazilThe mix of presentations provided plenty of valuable insights into well-known products & applications, but we‘re also taking home many new ideas and learnings. What made the event especially worthwhile were the engaging discussions and the opportunity to connect with so many people from all over the world. We’re already looking forward to next year!
