Industrial Mineral Events is delighted to announce that the 7th Lithium Supply & Market Conference will be held from 16-18 June 2015 in Shanghai, China.
As an exclusive and one-of-its-kind gathering within the lithium industry, the conference, running for the seventh time, will welcome global industry players from along the lithium value chain. There is no better place for the industry’s senior figures to meet and network. With the conference being held in North America for the past two years, it will shift to Shanghai in China this year to offer a greater opportunity to meet the downstream Asian market.
This year the conference will focus on global lithium supply and demand balances, the latest lithium projects in the production pipeline, and explore end-user markets and how the drivers of supply will evolve over the upcoming years. There will also be a review on key Asian countries such as Japan, China and South Korea on their lithium-ion battery industry developments and lithium demand & consumption outlook, along with revealing discussions on electric vehicle and energy storage markets and how regulation and policy are changing to encourage more usage.
