For our first-ever visit to Madrid and to celebrate Euro 2012, we are delighted to announce that all delegates will be invited to a unique reception at the Bernabéu Stadium on Tuesday, 19^th June, hosted and organized by CEPSA QUIMICA. 

This is an exciting and challenging time for the phenol-acetone industry. With the new capacity in Asia due on-stream in 2013-2015, the global supply/demand balances will change and even more acetone will be in circulation. Also, the new capacity will displace current product sent to Asia from other regions – where is this likely to go? How will the market in Europe be affected?

These vital questions are at the heart of the 7th ICIS World Phenol-Acetone conference to be held this year in Madrid. The conference is a great opportunity for the phenol-acetone and related industries to meet together in a crucial year to debate and learn about these issues.

Register to attend in Madrid and you will arm yourself with the tools, information and contacts to take your business forward against this changing industry landscape.

Other key topics which will be discussed are:

• The global economic situation and how consumer markets are likely to be affected
• An outlook for the cumene sector
• The drivers of the other feedstock markets, benzene and propylene
• Will India be the next China?
• New outlets for acetone
• A perspective on the phenol-acetone market in the US
• Is Russia a growing market?
• Coverage of key downstream markets – BPA, polycarbonate, epoxy resins and MMA/PMMA
