2026 – 1st Global CementAI Conference – Brussels

The global cement industry faces twin crises: A retirement crisis and a recruitment crisis. In essence, experienced cement industry workers are retiring at a faster rate than their replacements can be recuited and trained, leaving critical gaps in staffing and knowledge. At the same time, the application of artifical intelligence and automation offer an alternative way forward, one that also promises routes to operational optimisation and increased profitability. The Global CementAI Conference will cover the latest state-of-the-art in AI for the cement industry, as well as an overview of automation solutions.
