Euro Nickel is poised to be a very timely meeting for the industry which has been under severe pressure in recent times and is undergoing considerable transformation. With mine closures, idled capacity and delays in start-ups nickel has suffered in recent times. However, thanks to better demand in China and signs of recovery in the stainless steel sector, nickel’s performance has started to improve. Join your industry peers at this important gathering for professionals working in this field.

The agenda for next year's conference will feature papers from nickel producers, market and industry analysts, stainless steel manufacturers and end-users, and will also include an update of some of the major nickel projects. It is intended to give you a robust insight into the current situation for nickel and a clearer idea of where the markets are heading.
