About CRU Ferroalloys Europe Connections Summit

The Leading Event for the European Ferroalloys Industry

The CRU Ferroalloys Europe Connections Summit has established itself as a crucial mid-year gathering for professionals across the ferroalloys value chain.

Strategically positioned halfway through the annual contract season, the summit provides a unique and vital platform for the industry to connect. It is the ideal forum to renegotiate pricing, address delivery challenges, and assess market shifts ahead of the main negotiation period in the autumn.


Renowned for its relaxed and collaborative atmosphere, the event fosters valuable connections between producers, traders, and end-users. It is a key meeting point for major European steelmakers, many of whom do not attend other industry events.

Driven by CRU's deep market expertise, the agenda consistently tackles the most pressing issues facing the industry — from regulatory changes like CBAM and critical minerals legislation to global supply chain dynamics and production forecasts.

Ultimately, the Ferroalloys Europe Connections Summit serves as an essential forum for the industry to align strategies, conduct business, and gain the critical intelligence needed to navigate the complexities of the market. The 2026 edition will be held from 2-4 June at the Westin Hotel in Frankfurt, Germany.
