The fifth Global CemBoards Conference and Exhibition will take place in spring 2023, looking at global market trends in cement-based boards and panel systems, at the latest advances in production technology and at how producers can add value to their products worldwide. In addition to equipping delegates with the latest information, news and developments, the networking opportunities will once again be excellent.

After the success of the first four Global CemBoards events in London in January 2014, 2016 and 2018, and in Munich in January 2020, the organisers will repeat the event in Brussels, Belgium, and expect to attract even more participants from the global cement-based boards industries.

Global CemBoards Conference and Exhibition is brought to you by Global Cement Magazine.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 5th Global CemBoards Conference!
