Join the conversations that matter at the industry's strategic annual meeting

The 30th  World Aluminium Summit will be held in London in 13-15 May 2025,  co-hosted by the International Aluminium Institute (IAI) and the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI). 

This unique collaboration between CRU, IAI and ASI brings delegates deep insight into key market and sustainability issues. This year’s conference will look at the issue of data and transparency focusing on why customers and markets demand certain types of data, which is evolving, and how it can be used to support decision-making, drive sustainability outcome and inform customers, traders and the investment community.

The event will be structured around panel discussions followed by in depth analysis to drive greater understanding of the financial implications of different sustainability initiatives and ‘cross-lane’ insights. The conference will also feature price outlook session on raw materials, primary aluminium and semi finished products. 

The 2025 agenda is now available - from the impact of Trump's tarrifs on the aluminium industry to stakeholder expectations on sustainability reporting and transparency, this year's event will ask many of the industry's leading representatives to discuss the up-to-the-minute trends shaping the global aluminium market.

This flagship event is regularly held in London due to the high concentration of executives involved directly and indirectly in the aluminium sector, allowing attendees to maximise their networking opportunities and build their professional network in a business social environment. With over 360 leading executives and decision-makers from the primary, secondary, extruded, rolled products, end use, trading and financial sectors attended in 2024, representing 170+ companies from 38 countries, making the event the ideal opportunity to network with the global supply chain.
