Abu Dhabi once again plays host for this crucial market meeting and provides the perfect central
hub for this evolving industry. Since last year’s event there have been game changing advances
that need to be discussed, from new high grade iron ore projects and tightening natural gas supply
to shifting demand and new markets. All this and more will be comprehensively covered at this
year’s event. It is certainly not to be missed.
New for 2014
l Wider geographical focus
l New technologies scrutinised
l In depth forecasts of DR grade
pellets, DRI production and natural
gas supply
