Over 240 Senior Aluminium Executives to Gather in London in April at the CRU World Aluminium Conference

LONDON, Feb. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The CRU World Aluminium Conference will take place in London from 20-21 April 2020.  Now in its 25th year, the conference regularly attracts more than 240 influential, senior executives from 40 countries around the world to discuss the key issues facing the industry and provide participants with excellent networking opportunities.
