The 13th CRU Ferroalloys Europe Connections Summit (formerly Ferroalloys Europe Conference) returns to Germany on 2-4 June 2026, taking place at the Westin Hotel in Frankfurt.

As the ferroalloys industry navigates significant market shifts, new legislation, and changing trade dynamics, this summit provides a crucial mid-year opportunity for professionals to connect, do business, and gain critical market insights. Positioned halfway through the annual contract season, the event is the perfect meeting point for price renegotiations and assessing market changes ahead of the autumn negotiation period. Last year, the conference welcomed over 400 delegates, and we look forward to another successful gathering.

In 2026, you can:

  • Connect with key decision-makers from across the value chain, including major European steelmakers who do not attend competing events.

    Gain expert insights from CRU analysts on the most pressing topics, including CBAM's impact, steel production forecasts, and the outlook for critical minerals.

  • Experience a relaxed networking environment, ideal for building relationships and internal team strategy alignment.
  •  
  • Maximise your time and budget by meeting with new and existing business partners at a significantly more competitive price than other industry events. 

We look forward to welcoming you to Frankfurt in 2026!
