The 4th Future Cement Conference and Exhibition will examine the next steps forward for the cement industry in a low- or zero-carbon world. Cement producers - who already produce, package, distribute and sell cementitious materials - are ideally placed to become the leaders in the new ‘no-carbon’ cements. Covering all the alternatives to OPC, as well as low-CO2 options for concrete, and including pathways to CCUS, this conference will examine the way forward - to future cements.
The registration fee includes attendance at the conference and exhibition, conference programme booklet including delegate names/company/country, all available presentations in pdf format, participation in networking/speed-dating sessions, delegate name badge, special distribution magazine, coffee breaks and snacks, lunches, welcome reception and farewell reception. The FutureCem dinner is optional and is bookable during registration, with details on the dinner to be confirmed. The registration fee also includes any required on-site Covid testing.
Super Early-Bird registration is £595 and ends on 31 March 2023. The Early-Bird rate of £695 will apply from 1 April until the end of May 2023, followed by the Standard rate of £795 from 1 June and the Final rate of £895 after 1 November 2023. Cement producers benefit from a £100 discount on these rates, while employees of cement-producing members of partner associations (including the AUCBM, GCCA and WCA) gain an additional discount of £100 per person. Confirmed speakers register for £495. Confirmed cement-producer-speakers register free. Attendance at the FutureCem Dinner is £75.
Please note that fees quoted do not include any applicable local taxes. Belgian VAT at 21% may be applicable to some parts or all of these fees.
Important note: We will never call you about booking hotel rooms for this conference (just use the link on the 'Accomodation' page). If someone calls you offering a discount on hotel rooms, they are trying to scam you. Just put the phone down on them!
