TITANIUM 2010

Close to 1,000 delegates from across the titanium industry heard an optimistic outlook from more than 100 experts, a record number at the International Titanium Association’s 26th annual conference and exhibition, October 1 - 3, 2010. The overall tone confirmed that recovery for the titanium industry and its consuming markets, while perhaps slow, is on track and the worst of the global economic crisis is past.

Speakers on 22 panels addressed a broad array of topics including global demand and supply trends, economic trends, the changing role of China in the industry, the status of aerospace, military, medical and consumer markets, export and legal issues, supply chain management challenges, and the latest developments in materials, processing and manufacturing. The conference also hosted a distinguished speaker from the Aerospace Industries Association and a leading economist who delivered the keynote address.
