Reflecting on Chromium 2022
‘Recalling our commitment to ESG in a challenging global context’
Our recent event, held in Istanbul in October 2022, was an outstanding success. Attended by 190 delegates, representing 110 organisations from 31 countries, it was the most prominent Chromium industry event of the year.
Whilst the macro-economic context continues to be highly uncertain, the chromium industry remains committed to pursuing strong leadership on the ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) agenda. This was made clear by both ICDA President Zelda du Preez and Robert Yildirim, key sponsor of the conference, in their welcoming address. Delegates also heard Sant Manukyan, from International Capital Markets, discuss the uncertainty of the macro-economic landscape in his keynote address.
During the event delegates had the opportunity to question leading analysts on stainless steel and its alloying elements. The war in Ukraine and the energy crisis were prominent topics, with excellent analysis provided by several experts. Regional outlooks on chromium were also discussed.
The event provided excellent networking opportunities with two dinners, a conference lunch and a specifically designed networking area. The Responsible Chromium award ceremony and a superb gala dinner which highlighted the diversity of Turkey’s cultural heritage, closed the event.
“The event was not only very interesting with informative insights about the industry but also very enjoyable and entertaining. I really enjoyed the conference and learned a lot.”
“The programming and organization were outstanding and informative. The gala dinner was a lot of fun. It was great to celebrate together after 3 years.”
“Excellent Programme, thanks to all the care and arrangements.”
“Just a quick note to say very many thanks for an excellent conference last week. A very big round of applause goes to you and your hardworking team.”
“I very much enjoyed the conference and thanks for insuring that everything went as planned after such a long hiatus.”
“GREAT EVENT in Istanbul! Thank you very much. I have appreciated my first time with ICDA.”
