2nd Aerospace Materials Outlook & Forecast 2008 (Past event - SOLD OUT)

Introduction

+44 208 5187575

This is a must attend event for professionals involved with the aerospace industry. Our expanded program features coverage of the material input costs projected for the industry. Key supply and demand factors will be discussed and the often overlooked role of scrap in the supply chain will be examined. Much of the information presented here will be new factoring in the recent production changes for the 787 and other major new contracts such as the US Air Force refueling aircraft contracts. Much of the information delivered at earlier conferences came before or too soon after the news broke to include revised figures. Coverage will include key inputs such as stainless steel, titanium, composites and aluminum.

This is the second year of this key industry event. The 2008 event features an expanded program to examine the market in greater depth. Attendees at this event will hear from industry participants and experts on the direction of the aerospace market and the implications for the key material inputs. In addition to the valuable information to be gained through the presentations, there will be ample networking opportunities including an opening evening cocktail reception.
