World Aluminium Summit 2026
CRU’s World Aluminium Summit returns in 2026 and will be co-hosted by the International Aluminium Institute (IAI) and the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI). Taking place in London from 12–14 May, the Summit will once again bring global market leaders together to explore the intersection of commercial strategy, policy shifts and sustainability expectations across the aluminium value chain.
Join industry decision-makers for data-driven insights, strategic analysis, and three days of high-level networking that shape the future of responsible aluminium.
Where: London, UK
When: 12-14 May 2026
This year’s programme will take a closer look at why markets are demanding specific types of data, how those expectations are evolving, and how transparency can support stronger decision-making — from sustainability outcomes to trading, pricing and investment. Expert-led vignettes and cross-lane insights will unpack the economic and policy implications of new sustainability initiatives, complemented by CRU’s independent outlook on raw materials, primary aluminium and semi-finished products.
CRU, IAI and ASI each bring their strengths — independent market intelligence, global sector data, sustainability standards and overarching industry knowhow. Together, the Summit enables delegates to explore the practical decisions companies must make to stay competitive, compliant and future-ready.
Market questions shaping 2026 and beyond
As highlighted by CRU’s Paul Williams, Head of Aluminium, key uncertainties will influence industry direction, including:
- Surplus or deficit risks as new projects reshape global supply
- Demand growth from NEVs and modern technologies
- Expansion of smelting capacity and its implications for decarbonisation
- Intensifying competition for scrap and potential policy impacts on material flows
