The Arab International Aluminium Conference and Exhibition (Arabal) is the premier event for the Middle East’s aluminum industry. Organized by the Gulf Aluminium Council (GAC) on behalf of the Middle East’s primary and downstream aluminum producers, it is the only conference to be attended by every primary smelter in the region, including Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA), Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), Egyptalum, Ma’aden, Qatalum, and Sohar Aluminium.
Arabal 2025 will be hosted by EGA at the Le Meridien Conference and Exhibition Center in Dubai, UAE, on November 4–6, 2025. The event will combine a strategic conference with an international exhibition, bringing together thousands of professionals from the entire aluminum supply chain—smelters, producers, equipment and technology providers, and end users—to discuss the most topical issues facing the industry.
Conference
The Arabal conference provides valuable presentations from international thought leaders, offering insights into global challenges, knowledge on the latest market trends, and opportunities in the aluminum sector. The presentations and panels will discuss the worldwide aluminum industry, including updates on the London Metal Exchange (LME); the primary aluminum market by region, price, and premiums; the upstream sector (bauxite, alumina, and green and calcined coke); and the downstream sector landscape, based on products and regions.
In addition, the topics will look at the availability, technology, and challenges of recycling, as well as providing an outlook on sustainability, including the cost of decarbonization, renewable energy, research and development, hydrogen use, carbon capture solutions, and other technologies. New technologies will also be discussed, including AI and robotics.
Exhibition
The Arabal exhibition is the only show dedicated to the aluminum industry and its main application sectors in the Middle East, as well as showcasing the latest technical developments by major technology providers and producers worldwide. The exhibition provides an unrivaled opportunity to discover the latest viable business opportunities and learn more about new projects and prospects in the region.
