100 delegates have now registered for this event
The 2016 International Lithium & Graphite Conference: Minerals for Automotive is organised by China’s Baiinfo in association with Metal Events Limited. This is a 1 ½ day conference looking at the market developments for lithium and graphite and particularly focusing on the vital role these two materials are playing in the development of battery technology in the automotive sector for HEV/EV vehicles.
As a major lithium battery producer, China plays an important global role in the development of future generations of electric vehicle technology. However, a major issue remains on supply-side issues with questions over where future production of lithium will come from to meet demand.
This event will focus on the key issues affecting the industry with speakers from both China and the Rest of World looking at industry trends, applications and market developments for both lithium and graphite.
Reasons to attend the 2016 International Lithium & Graphite Conference:
– Quality programme and speakers – this is the key part of the conference, providing a cogent, themed programme that provides top level information to help you in your business
– Value for money
– Meeting other delegates – opportunities for networking at the event;
