In an economic landscape marked by volatility, inflationary pressures, shifting regulations, and geopolitical uncertainty, every business decision, especially those involving time and budget, faces heightened scrutiny. And yet, it's precisely during these periods of disruption that industry connection, clarity, and collaboration become not just valuable but essential.

The 28th ICIS and ResourceWise World Chlor-Alkali Conference, taking place June 19-20, 2025, in Singapore, is the premier event to equip you with the tools, networks, and foresight to thrive. Here's why attendance is invaluable for industry professionals

For professionals in the chlor-alkali sector, attending a well-curated industry conference in today's climate isn't a luxury—it's a strategic imperative.

Here's why:

Navigating Uncertainty with Shared Intelligence

Markets may be unpredictable, but one constant remains: knowledge is power. Insights shared in real-time often cut through the fog of uncertainty more effectively than quarterly reports or white papers. Understanding what peers are seeing on the ground can sharpen forecasts and support better-informed strategic planning.

The chlor-alkali market is navigating a turbulent landscape. Geopolitical tensions, trade policy shifts, and fluctuating energy costs are reshaping global trade flows. At the conference, you will hear from industry leaders like those from Bloomberg Intelligence, Inovyn, and DCM Shriram Limited, who will unpack critical topics such as:

  • Supply chain resilience
  • Regional market trends
  • Sustainability challenges

The conference attracts market participants from around the world, from feedstock producers and derivatives manufacturers to traders, distributors, and end-users. Whether you are a producer seeking new buyers, a trader navigating pricing volatility, or a technology provider showcasing innovations, the event offers unparalleled networking opportunities. Expect:

  • Interactive panels and Q&A sessions: Engage directly with experts, such as Dr. Stefan Schlag Leon Beraud, Founder of Salt Market Information, to address your specific challenges.
  • Networking events: Conferences offer concentrated, high-quality time to build those connections without the distraction of day-to-day operations. Connect with peers to forge partnerships that drive business growth. In a tight market, who you know—and how well you know them—can make a measurable difference.

Stay Ahead of Technological and Regulatory Shifts

From energy efficiency mandates to stricter environmental compliance, the regulatory environment for chlor-alkali producers and downstream industries is evolving fast. Conferences serve as a pulse-check on these changes, offering early signals, policy interpretations, and best practices from those already adapting. Staying ahead of the curve isn't just about compliance—it's about preserving competitive edge.
