Themed “Beyond the Cycle”, the Alumina 2024 Conference, Exhibition and Workshop is proudly hosted and sponsored by Emirates Global Aluminium, the world’s largest ‘premium aluminium’ producer and biggest industrial company in the United Arab Emirates outside oil and gas.
Incorporating a “Net Zero Alumina Refining” Workshop sponsored by the International Aluminium Institute (IAI), Alumina 2024 will look beyond the familiar cycles of economic and technological development for the innovations essential to transform alumina production to the low carbon, low environmental impact industry that the future world demands.
In the AQW tradition of “for the industry, by the industry”, the conference will feature a world-class technical program with opportunities for networking and sharing knowledge with over 300 delegates from the alumina industry, academia, suppliers and other stakeholders from all over the world.
The Alumina 2024 Exhibition will showcase the latest in technology from suppliers. It will be held an Exhibition Hall adjacent to the Conference presentation areas with co-located breakout and refreshment facilities to foster networking.
Student participation is encouraged via discount Registration, financial support for overseas travel, and mentoring to students presenting their work at the Conference.
Technical Tours of EGA’s world-leading Al Taweela Alumina Refinery and Aluminium Smelter will be available on Thursday, 24 April. Morning and afternoon tours of each will ensure that delegates will have the opportunity to visit both facilities in small groups.
The excellent Social Program will include an informal Dinner Event on the Viewing Deck of Palace Downtown, the AQW Gala Conference Dinner and Awards Ceremony at the Grand Hyatt, and numerous networking opportunities throughout the Conference week.
