The 7th Annual Conference and Exhibition of the World Cement Association (WCA) is scheduled to occur from May 18 to May 19, 2024, at the Hilton Nanjing Niushoushan in Nanjing, China, with a focus on the theme of ‘Strategy and Performance’. In response to the profound transformation toward sustainable practices within the cement industry, the conference aims to tackle the challenges faced by producers in developing countries struggling with overcapacity and pricing pressures, contrasting with the stability experienced in Europe and North America.
Discussions and panel sessions will cover critical topics such as the impact of carbon trading systems, strategies for cost reduction and operational efficiency enhancement, navigating the opportunities and challenges of global trade, best practices in management, and the latest advancements in supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and their implications on clinker demand.
