Metal Events Lithium, Graphite & Cobalt Forum is coming to Montreal. Sign up now and pay just £400 per person.

Our 2017 International Lithium, Graphite & Cobalt Conference in Hong Kong in November attracted over 100 delegates as people are eager to find out more about these markets and what is in store for the electric vehicle revolution.

Every day brings a new story about electric vehicles as governments around the world are sounding the death knell for the internal combustion engine. France announced in the summer that they want to end the sale of all petrol and diesel cars by 2040, joining India whose target is 2030 and Norway who want to achieve this by 2025.

Sourcing materials in increasingly larger volumes is already having an effect, with major price increases this year especially in cobalt. Plus lithium and graphite supplies are under scrutiny too.

Join us in Montreal for this one-day forum to discuss battery market developments and find out from our speakers if demand can sustain growth for lithium and cobalt. Where will new supply for this burgeoning market come from? Are there enough raw materials going forward to service the electric vehicle revolution?

Book now to find out the answers to these questions and more.
