Metal Bulletin and SMR are pleased to announce details of the 3rd Asian Stainless Steel Conference. Thisleading conference offers a unique opportunity to network and do business with the main players in theAsian and international stainless steel industry.

2006 has been a record year for the stainless steel industry with unprecedented growth in marketvolumes (rising to more than 28 million tonnes) with prices almost doubling for most products. Theextremely high nickel and stainless steel prices seem to have done no damage to the market to date.Substitution is far less striking than forecast, and the rising overcapacity in China has not yet led to amassive wave of Asian material flooding the North American and European markets, even though theglobal price differences exceeds US$1,000 for some products. Virtually all stainless steel producers anddistributors reported record earnings at the end of 2006.

We are in a new territory, never experienced before. Is this a new mega cycle that is driven by a neverending craving for metals in emerging countries, which will keep volumes, prices and margins at recordlevels for the years to come, or ....... is it a bubble, ready to burst?

We will gather high profile speakers in Hong Kong, all masters of their trade, to address key issues inorder to elevate everyone's ability to assess his individual risk potential for further good fortune or fora downside correction.

Metal Bulletin and SMR’s 3rd Asian Stainless Steel Conference will provide you with a panoramic view ofthe stainless steel industry in Asia and will address the main issues from raw material through to finishedproduct.

VVeennuueeThe award-winning Kowloon Shangri-La is the landmark on Tsimshatsui East'swaterfront, with panoramic views of Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong Islandskyline. Close to all major transportation routes, the hotel is home to therenowned shopping and entertainment district of Kowloon. All its elegantlydesigned rooms have majestic city or harbour views, and are some of the mostspacious in the city. Complementing its exemplary services are state-of-the-art
