Future Cement Conference and Exhibition - Virtual

3rd Future Cement Conference and Exhibition 2021 - Virtual

Tuesday 16 March 2021 - Virtual Conference

#FutureCement

The 3rd 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, this conference will examine the way forward - to future cements.

The conference has attracted over 860 delegate registrations, from the following 86 countries: Albania, Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Liberia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Macedonia, Malaysia, Mauritius, Mexico, Mongolia, Morocco, Myanmar, Nepal, Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Swaziland, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay, VietNam, Yemen
