The biennial IM Congress is back in Europe and 2012 promises to be
bigger and better than before. This is the only event that brings
together the entire Industrial Minerals industry in one place and
provides outstanding networking opportunities.
IM20 in Miami saw a difficult time for the industry which has subsequently
started to recover and IM21 will give you a chance to hear from industry
leaders about the key issues facing the industry while catching up with
your peers.
Budapest is a beautiful city right in the heart of Europe, meaning the congress
is perfectly positioned for you to arrange meetings and do business.
Some of the topics to be covered this year
will include:
l World outlook – the way forward for the Industrial Minerals sector
l European IM resources and development – outlook and challenges
l Regional mineral developments
l Focus on new innovations/equipment for mineral processing
l Latest trends developments in TiO 2 feedstock/pigment and Zircon
l Filler and pigment minerals in paper, plastics and paint
l Minerals used in refractories
l Glass and ceramic minerals
l Agrimarkets – minerals used in fertilisers, animal feed and horticulture
l New energy – minerals used in solar, batteries, fuel cells and
wind power
“Excellent coverage of
both technical and
commercial issues.”
Lucas Mott, Sales and Logistics Director,
Lasselsberger Gmbh
“A great opportunity to
meet major industry
players and to combine
business with leisure.”

Things to do in Budapest
Parliament
An icon of Budapest is its breathtaking neo-Gothic
parliament – interestingly modelled on London’s seat of
government. Nearly mothballed by the Soviets, the
building is once again the heart of the Hungarian state.
You can visit the crown jewels worn by Hungarian
monarchs since the Middle Ages. The unique interior
design includes huge halls, over 12,5 miles of corridors,
a 96-meter high central dome, and 691 rooms. When
the Parliament is not in session, all these can be visited
(cameras are allowed); tours are offered in English,
French, German, Russian, Hebrew, Japanese, Italian
and Spanish.
Thermal Baths –
Gellert Baths and Spa
Budapest
Budapest is a unique city in more than one way.
For those who love spa and wellness, it is unique for
being the only large city in the world, which abounds in
fountains of healing water. 70 million litres of 21-78
Celsius warm thermal water spring forth daily from its 118
natural thermal springs.
Castle Hill
Stroll through several centuries of history in this Unesco
World Heritage Site. Don’t miss the beautiful Matthias
Church on Holy Trinity Square or the imposing Royal
Palace housing the Hungarian National Gallery and the
Budapest History Museum. For a stunning view take the
funicular railway up from Fisherman’s Bastion near the
Chain Bridge.
Hungarian State
Opera House
Hungarian State Opera House – on Andrassy Avenue
(Andrassy, Budapest’s Champs Élysées is a World
Heritage site): the Opera House is like a jewel box, 19th
century architecture, superb acoustics. The opera
performances are not only great, but can be the best
budget programmes you can have in Budapest.
Romantic, beautiful, high quality and inexpensive.
