2013<br />
28-30 October 2013<br />
Radisson Blu Portman Hotel, London<br />
In 2013 Fluorspar comes to London. As<br />
the only conference dedicated to all<br />
aspects of the fluorine supply chain this<br />
is the must attend event for anyone<br />
involved in the fluorspar industry.<br />
Much has happened in the past year and<br />
there are many issues to be discussed.<br />
China continues to dominate and its<br />
trade agenda remains unclear. With<br />
further market consolidation, increasing<br />
regulatory pressure and a growing<br />
fluorochemical industry it is suggested<br />
that China will become a net importer of<br />
fluorspar in the future. Is this assertion<br />
true? What does this mean for the rest of<br />
the industry and how can producers<br />
outside of China take advantage?<br />
Elsewhere in Asia, Mongolia’s presence is<br />
becoming increasingly important. What<br />
is the status of new projects here and<br />
what contribution do they make to the<br />
global market?<br />
Further downstream there are<br />
developments in the fluorochemical<br />
sector. How are HFOs being<br />
implemented and how does this impact<br />
demand for raw materials? In addition<br />
how are the aluminium and steel<br />
markets affecting the demand for AlF₃<br />
and metspar?<br />
Across two days an expert panel of<br />
speakers will provide you with in depth<br />
analysis of the most important issues the<br />
industry faces. With senior level<br />
executives from all major companies<br />
represented the conference provides<br />
unrivalled networking opportunities. It is<br />
now more important than ever to<br />
cement your understanding of the<br />
fluorspar market and find out what the<br />
coming years have in store. Can you<br />
afford to miss out?<br />
Key topics to<br />
be discussed:<br />
lMarket fundamentals<br />
lHF and AlF 3 markets<br />
lThe latest developments in<br />
fluorochemicals<br />
lClarification on the future of<br />
the Chinese fluorspar industry<br />
lTrends in metspar from<br />
producers and end users<br />
lThe outlook for fluorspar prices<br />
An essential<br />
global forum for:<br />
l Fluorspar producers<br />
l HF, AlF 3 and<br />
fluorochemical producers<br />
l Steel mills<br />
l Aluminium producers<br />
l Industry consultants<br />
l Logistics and<br />
service providers<br />
