The Black China Blog

We have received several requests asking if and when we will be holding our next “Black China” Conference.

So here is the official answer - we are currently planning to hold our next conference in May 2010. Locations have not even been checked yet, but with the success of Sanya we will look to a similar spot where delegates can balance work and relaxation (hopefully with a little less rain and heat).

For those of you who missed it, AZ China held a conference in June of this year at the Marriott Resort in Sanya. With almost 80 people attending, we had speakers from both inside and outside China help us to understand the dynamics and trends at work inside the market. The conference looked at the Chinese economy, the aluminium industry in China, pet coke, pitch, anodes, cathodes and aluminium fluoride. We also had speakers look at how to manage quality with Chinese products, and a paper on the domestic logistics situation in China. The success of the conference is what led us to start the monthly Black China Report, as well as this blog.
