The global aluminium industry is preparing to come together in Budapest from September 15 to 17, 2026, for the 40th edition of Fastmarkets International Aluminium, a landmark event that has played a central role in bringing together the industry’s leading voices for four decades.

Recognised as one of Europe’s leading aluminium trading events, Fastmarkets International Aluminium continues to serve as a key meeting point for producers, traders, buyers, recyclers, financiers and senior decision makers across the aluminium value chain.

The 2026 edition arrives at a defining moment for the industry, with businesses navigating supply chain pressures, geopolitical uncertainty, energy challenges, changing trade flows and the accelerating transition towards a lower carbon future.

The three-day program will explore the critical issues shaping aluminium markets globally, including supply security, raw material availability, pricing trends, tariffs, sustainability regulations and evolving demand patterns. Through market outlook sessions, executive discussions, strategic panels and specialist forums, participants will gain insights into the forces influencing commercial decisions across the sector.

Key sessions will include the Global Aluminium Market Outlook, featuring analysis of prices, premiums, trade flows and demand signals, alongside a CEO Leadership Panel examining the future resilience and competitiveness of the global aluminium industry.

The agenda will also focus on emerging supply regions, including Indonesia’s expanding role in aluminium production, upstream risks linked to bauxite and alumina, logistics challenges, recycling growth and the development of low carbon aluminium.

The event will feature contributions from leading industry representatives, including executives from Emirates Global Aluminium, Hindalco Industries, Hydro Aluminium, European Aluminium and other major market participants.
