The 22nd SMM Aluminium Industry Conference and Expo (AICE 2027) will take place from 15–17 April 2027 in China, bringing together aluminium producers, manufacturers, technology suppliers, investors and industry specialists from across the global metals supply chain.
Organised by Shanghai Metals Market (SMM), the event will cover the full aluminium industry, from bauxite mining, alumina refining and primary smelting through to rolling, extrusion, die casting, recycling and advanced manufacturing technologies. The conference will examine market developments, production efficiency, sustainability and the growing importance of aluminium in construction, transport, energy infrastructure and industrial manufacturing.
Combining an international exhibition with technical conferences and industry networking, AICE 2027 is expected to feature more than 300 exhibitors, over 10,000 professional attendees and upwards of 80 expert presentations.
Discussions will explore emerging applications for aluminium in electric vehicles, automotive lightweighting, aerospace, renewable energy, electronics and advanced robotics, alongside innovations in recycling, processing equipment and low-carbon production.
For manufacturers, engineering companies, material suppliers and infrastructure professionals, the event provides an opportunity to examine new technologies, strengthen supply chain relationships and understand the commercial and technical developments shaping the future of the global aluminium industry.
