Invitation

The International Bauxite, Alumina & Aluminium Society (IBAAS) is pleased to announce the 14th International Bauxite, Alumina & Aluminium Conference & Exhibition (IBAAS-2026), scheduled during September 9–11, 2026 in Jharsuguda, Odisha, India. This edition comes at a pivotal time when the aluminium industry is accelerating its transition toward low-carbon operations, clean energy adoption and sustainable growth. Accordingly, the theme of IBAAS-2026 is “Global Aluminium Outlook 2030: Secure Resources, Efficient Energy and Value from Wastes”.

The conference will bring together aluminium producers, mining and refining companies, downstream manufacturers, technology providers, sustainability experts, energy solution developers, researchers and policymakers to share innovations, industrial experience and future-ready strategies. Discussions will highlight next-generation energy solutions, emerging technologies such as SMR (Small Modular Reactors), renewable integration and decarbonization pathways for strengthening aluminium’s global competitiveness.

Jharsuguda—recognized as the power capital of Odisha and a fast-growing world hub of aluminium production—offers an ideal setting to explore the industry’s transition to a greener, more efficient and technology-driven future.

The three-day event will feature technical sessions, panel discussions, an international exhibition and B2B networking opportunities. IBAAS warmly invites stakeholders to join as delegates, paper presenters, exhibitors and sponsors and to be part of defining the next chapter of sustainable and competitive aluminium development.
