2009' International Cement Conference, co-organized by Britain's famous cement even planner INTERCEM and China's No.1 cement engineering and producing player CHINA NATIONAL MATERIALS CORPORATION (known as Sinoma), rings its curtain up this morning at InterContinental Hong Kong.

This is the forth meeting held by Intercem in China, following the events in 2003, 2004 and 2006. It'll last for two days. As usual, this major international conference and exhibition will address the pressing and topical issues.

Following a background-setting presentation on the global financial situation and its impact on the international cement industry, the first day of this timely conference will be devoted to China, examining the effects of the stimulus package plus other issues such as what impact will the lack of international investment have, are there differences in the performance of the industry in various regions of China, what part is China now playing in global cement trade and who are its emerging partners.

The first day will be completed with presentations on environment and sustainability issues in China.

On the second day, the meeting will move further afield to review developments in the ASEAN region, the Indian sub-continent plus Australia, together with shipping, trading and international environmental issues. Last but not least, the meeting will be devoting a whole session to examining the slag sector.

The event will be rounded off by the INTERCEM TECH-FORUM.
