Under the combined supervision of China Iron & Steel Association (CISA), Custeel and Wuhan Iron and Steel (Group) Corp. (WISCO) are going to hold the "International Steel & Minerals Conference 2016" in Wuhan, which will take place on Apr 13-Apr 15, 2016 at Shangri-La Hotel in Wuhan, Hubei province. The summit is also jointly organized by Umetal, with expected attendance at 600. We are looking forward to your presence. 

Global political conflict, economic weakness and financial turbulence has speeded up its pace since 2015. The influence of China economic downturn has spread from upstream market to end-users. Slack manufacturing, real estate and bulk commodity markets may bring new round of financial crisis. Largely rising steel product export could make up the losses of whole steel industry. China steel companies face more risks of bankruptcy along with falling demand and strengthening anti-dumping measures in 2016.

China steel industry must go through structure readjustment and upgrade at present. Facing the difficulties, we need the cognition of common situation, selection of thoughts, understanding of whole industry, mastery of market trend, application of policies and cultivation of talents. At the beginning of the 13th Five-Year Plan, How do NPC & CPPCC policies go? How to forecast economic trend? Will de-capacity cycle succeed? Will zombie companies go bankrupt? Will global bulk commodity market bottom out this year? Are anti-dumping measures from western countries political constraints or just economic reflection? Will debt problems overturn the ferrous industrial chain? What's the development of steel industry E-commerce platform against the backdrop of "Internet Plus"? How big data base promotes the company upgrade and integration? Could exchange rate slow its changing pace?  All the above issues will be discussed and answered on the summit.
