“ It is an honour to be your chairman this year and together with the Steering Committee , we have a fantastic event in the making . Each day starts with plenary lectures addressing global , broader aspects of the stainless steel industry . These lectures will provide food for thought as to how crucial end-user markets and the stainless steel industry will develop in the near future . Workshops and technical sessions are to follow , focusing on more hands-on topics .”

After all , the Stainless Steel World Conference is an excellent networking event , designed to meet up with old acquaintances or come into contact with new members of the global stainless steel community .”
