The must attend event for the global aluminum industry returns to New York in 2012

The pace of change in the aluminum industry shows no signs of slowing. New producers are emerging on a regular basis while the global distribution of production continues to shift on an almost monthly basis.
What do all these moving parts mean for the aluminum supply chain? Is the industry well placed for growth irrespective of the potential for a major global turndown and how can the industry better work together to ensure a brighter future for the entire sector?

The industry’s leading figures will gather for their annual Summit in New York and seek to answer these questions and more.
