London, United Kingdom (ABN Newswire) - CRU's World Aluminium Conference provides a complete assessment of the aluminium supply chain, with unrivalled global analysis and networking.
There is a great deal of positive sentiment in the aluminium industry at the moment. Demand performance in 2010 and growth projections for 2011 and 2012 are all higher than previous estimates. Favourable power contracts and high LME prices are underpinning confidence and there have been fewer smelter closures and more smelter re-starts than previously expected.
Nonetheless, in spite of the positive outlook there are a number of challenges and uncertainties. The disconnect between inventory and price, the implications posed by developments in the Middle East, and macroeconomic policy in Europe and North America are all high on the agenda.
CRU's World Aluminium Conference is the world's leading primary focussed event and is not missed by executives seeking up-to-the minute and insightful analysis.
Senior representatives from companies including Dubal, Novelis, Rio Tinto Alcan and SNC-Lavalin (TSE:SNC) will join experts from CRU's Aluminium team to present on market and regional trends and outlooks, raw materials, and end user markets. Confirmed speakers include:
