At the kind invitation of the Australasian (Iron and Steel) Slag Association

After having been postponed in 2009 due to the Global Financial Crisis, the 6th Global Slag Conference will take place in 2010 in Sydney, vibrant heart of the industrial powerhouse that is present-day Australia. As well as attracting representatives from the iron and steel industries in Australian, New Zealand and from around Asia and beyond, the conference will also appeal to cement and construction industry personnel who have an interest in increased use of slag and slag-derived products. As always, the level of technical presentations will be high and networking opportunities will be excellent. With a Gala Dinner at the Sydney Opera House, the social programme will also be one to remember! Attendees are expected from over 35 countries, with representatives from Australasia, Asia, India, the Middle East, Europe, African and North and South America. If your business is slag or is related to slag, then you should certainly attend the 6th Global Slag Conference, in Sydney, Australia.
