The world’s premier event for the non-metallic minerals industry with an outstanding reputation for invaluable networking and market insight.
The biennial IM Congress comes to Athens in 2008. The centre of one of the world’s most developed ancient civilisations will become the centre of the industrial minerals world next year as host to the industry’s top meeting point.
IM is delighted to be bringing the event back to Europe and to the historical city of Athens. In its own right Greece remains a leading light in bauxite, bentonite, clays, magnesite, perlite, and pumice, and the IM19 field trip programme will aim to provide first hand opportunities to visit some of these production sites.
- How can you best solve your logistical headaches and what are the solutions available?
- How will REACH really affect your business?
- How can you tackle rising energy costs?
- Where are the emerging markets and how can you tap into them?
- How can you move your business forward?
