Quote of the Day on Virtual Global Slag Conference: "Excellent way to overcome time at the moment, but I am sure it will stay only for a short time until the world recovers. It will become a niche model again. That does not apply to internal meetings or internal conferences, of course, which will become now increasingly practical. But especially for sales you need a personal contact - webmeetings cannot replace that." Virtual Slag Conference participant 2020
Introduction
Due to the postponement of the real-world Global Slag Conference from May to November 2020, the organisers staged a virtual event on 6 May 2020. The virtual conference allowed all attendees to maximise their profits from slag - both ferrous and non-ferrous, kept them up-to-date with the industry state-of-the-art and provided extensive networking and business opportunities for both producers and users of slag and slag-based products.
