PLEASE NOTE NEW DATES FOR

China Refractory Minerals Forum 2021, Dalian, 25-27 October 2021 

Field Trip to Haimag, Haicheng Thurs 28 October 

The new conference will cover global trends and outlook in supply and demand for refractory raw materials and markets.

With so many of the refractory industry’s traditional in-person meeting opportunities cancelled or postponed in 2020 and H12021, IMFORMED anticipates that Spring 2021 will be the ideal time to bring together the refractory raw materials community in a virtual conference environment to take stock.

The pandemic of 2020 sharply exposed the vulnerability of refractory mineral supply chains, the “essentially” and “criticality” of certain commodities, and impacted primary consuming markets.

The world refractories market, like all others, has had to swiftly adjust to the prevailing market conditions.

Looking ahead, the industry needs to reassess its outlook for survival and meeting the needs of its evolving markets. This includes:

  • Exploration and development of new mineral sources

  • Strategies on mineral sourcing by consumers

  • Development and utilisation of synthetic minerals

  • Increased evolution and use of recycled materials

  • Corporate restructuring and consolidation

  • Vertical integration and diversification

  • Greater collaboration between suppliers and consumers

  • Achieving low CO2 emissions

Refractory Minerals Forum 2021 ONLINE will bring together a panel of industry experts to present, discuss, and network with international attendees from across the refractory raw material supply chain.

Until we can meet in-person, Refractory Minerals Forum 2021 ONLINE will be the next most invaluable opportunity to get together first hand with leading players active in refractory raw material:

  • Exploration

  • Development

  • Production

  • Processing

  • Trading

  • Logistics

  • Purchasing

  • Application in refractories

At present, we are using Zoom Pro Webinar, and we are aiming to add breakout rooms and wider networking functions for 2021. We shall keep you posted on this with appropriate advisories.

All registered delegates will receive a complimentary new edition of IMFORMED’s Refractory Raw Material World Sources Map® – details here
