Programme Information:
Topics on the agenda will include:
Day 1, June 18th 2008
Session 1: European steel – changes, challenges, opportunities
Europe’s steel industry faces a number of major issues – not least high raw materials and freight costs, cheap imports, price risk and market growth. These will be addressed and debated, while exploring new opportunities.
Session 2: Market makers, market breakers 1
These landmark sessions on both days of the meeting will focus on the dynamics of the principal flat and long products markets, on steel price volatility, the changing impact of China on Europe, distributor roles, responding to the customer, new business pointers, and more.
Session 3: Raw materials – managing the unmanageable
There is little that concerns Europe’s steel industry more at the present time than its high input costs, and the possibility that these will continue to rise – from iron ore to freight, and from coal to scrap – so putting this session close to the heart of the meeting.
Session 4: Steel futures – putting price risk in the past
A new era is dawning for steel producers and buyers with the arrival of steel futures. Here is a tool that promises to put both buyer and seller in control. Find out why this is important, as practitioners describe the new trading landscape and guide you into it.
Day 2, June 19th 2008
Session 5: Market makers, market breakers 2 What does China mean for Europe? Steel prices – can users cope? Breaking the stock/destock cycle: ways forward for distributors Is consolidation benefiting the bottom line?
