AZ China is holding its next conference in May this year. The International Aluminium and Carbon conference, to be held May 5 - 7 at the Sofitel Hotel, Beijing, is expected to draw more than 200 delegates.

A significant part of the program will be devoted to understanding how the shale oil phenomenon in the USA will impact the anodes used in the manufacture of aluminium.

The conference will start with a powerhouse of speakers. Chief among them will be Dr Geoff Raby, former Australian Ambassador to China. Dr Raby, whose doctorate is in Economics, has a wealth of experience in the centre of Chinese politics and economics. He is now on the board of Fortescue Metals, a supplier of iron ore to China.

Dr Raby knows his stuff. If you want to understand how China’s economy is set to grow, and how things like the drive to reduce pollution will affect petcoke production in the coming years, this is the man to listen to.
