The 13th PCI Consulting Group European Polyester Industry Conference
The Vienna Marriott Hotel, Vienna, Austria
PCI?s annual seminar on the polyester chain continues to be the leading forum for the presentation and discussion of key events and trends in the polyester and intermediates business. 2005 so far has proved to be a year of unparalled volatility in PX/PTA and polyester markets.
China?s continued push into export markets together with the huge import flows of raw materials into the country has seen speculative activity dramatically impact pricing aspirations along the chain, with sudden rises and falls playing havoc in the market. This seminar will explore the issues and drivers for such behaviour and seeks to provide attendees with an informative market outlook for the next 6-12 months.
This PCI Conference aims to provide a day?s worth of informative and authorative presentations to assist the industry in better understanding upcoming issues.
Presentations will cover:
? Feedstocks
? Paraxylene
? PTA
? MEG
? PET Resin
? Polyester Fibres

The 10th World Fibres and Feedstocks Conference
The Regent, Singapore
Patterns of fibre demand have become very complex this year with many different influences emerging. Key issues that will be addressed at the conference include:
- International textile trade post-quotas is still dependent on final consumer demand and there are signs of disappointing retail figures in the major western markets.
- A slower export performance in volume and pricing is kicking back into China?s fibres industry which geared up for a massive increase in volumes in 2005.
- Overcapacity remains a big issue in the polyester industry, keeping the markets structurally weak.
- Disappointing exports, low margins and over-capacity have all taken the edge off fibre demand and are not being absorbed short-term by strong growth.
- Fibres demand is subject to cyclic influence with the global MMF industry still destocking while cotton starts to rebuild.
Do not miss out on this unique opportunity to network with leading global players in the industry.

The 8th PCI Consulting Group North American Polyester Industry Conference
The Airport Marriott Hotel, George Bush Intercontinental, Houston, TX
Since last February?s PCI conference in Houston there has been an unprecedented series of supply and price dislocations occurring both in the Americas and further afield in Asia. The impact of China?s development in the polyester industry continues to be keenly felt whilst the devastating hurricanes in September brutally highlighted some of the glaring deficiencies that exist in the North American polyester business from a commercial and logistical standpoint.
PCI will be holding its 8th Annual North American Polyester Conference in Houston, Texas on 16th February, 2006. The focus of this dynamic and topical conference will be to assess how the recovering North American market can best face up to the challenges and opportunities that will hit the market in 2006 and beyond. PCI will put this analysis into a wider global framework as our team of experienced industry consultants help clients understand the dynamics and consequences of the overdevelopment of Chinese polyester, raw material dislocations and how companies are redefining how they operate in an increasingly challenging environment.
Pre-event dinner for attendees will be held on evening of Feb 15th, 2006.

The 14th PCI Consulting Group European Polyester Industry Conference
Riviera Marriott Hotel La Porte de Monaco, Monte Carlo
PCI annual seminar on the polyester chain continues to be the leading forum for the presentation and discussion of key events and trends in the polyester and intermediates business.
Polyester demand in 2006 has seen a rebound from a weak 2005 performance, as China?s push into export markets appears to have been overtaken by a surge in domestic demand. Delays in capacity addition along the chain have impacted near-term supply-demand balances while strength in energy markets has pushed pricing to peak levels, playing havoc in some sectors of the market.
This seminar will explore the issues and drivers behind current market behaviour and seeks to provide attendees with an informative market outlook for the next 6-12 months.
This PCI Conference aims to provide a day worth of informative and authoritative presentations to assist the industry in better understanding upcoming issues.

The 16th PCI Consulting Group European Polyester Industry Conference
Hotel Royal Riviera, Avenue Jean Monnet, Saint Jean Cap Ferrat
PCI Xylenes & Polyesters will be holding its 16th annual pre-EPCA seminar on the polyester chain in the Hotel Royal -Riviera, Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, close to Monaco.
The polyester industry continues to experience major structural changes on a regional and global basis and remains subject to a host of ever-changing external factors that influence not only its performance and growth, but for some participants within it, the very viability of continuing operations. M&A activity within the sector is increasing and the dynamics of Asia versus Western markets continues to shape developments. From higher energy costs to cooling credit markets; from overcapacity to supplier rationalisation; from M&A activities to forward investment plans these and many other topics impact both the micro- and macro-management of the polyester industry. PCI?s team of industry-experienced consultants will present a series of thorough assessments along the polyester chain in order to provide clients and attendees with the very latest thinking and analysis in this area.

This new conference covers many of the topics that formed the core of PCI presentations in past Singapore conferences. PCI is, however, no longer involved with any conference of this type in Singapore and has decided to focus its efforts in establishing The Fibres & Raw Materials Conference in Hong Kong, close to the hub of Asian textile activity.
Speakers are drawn from the industry and PCI itself which now comprises the largest team worldwide for specialised marketing consultancy in global fibres and their raw materials.
As can be seen from this year programme, the commercial links for acrylic, nylon and polyester fibres with their raw materials are fully covered. In addition, there are important papers on viscose and the natural fibres as well as the economic and trading environments in which such products operate. We look forward to seeing you in Hong Kong, to confirm old friendships and to build new ones.

The 9th PCI Consulting Group North American Polyester Industry Conference
15 February 2007
The Airport Marriott Hotel, George Bush Intercontinental, Houston, TX
The focus of this dynamic and topical conference will be on understanding how changes in the feedstock chain continue to threaten rollercoaster pricing whilst also assessing how major new PTA and PET investments are affecting global and regional dynamics and assessing how corporate restructuring and strategic shifts will impact North American markets in the coming year. PCI will put this analysis into a wider global framework as our team of experienced industry consultants present an analysis and understanding of the structure and drivers for different polyester market segments.
Energy Markets Although down from its mid-2006 peak, how stable is oil pricing and is natural gas pricing still a volatile beast?
Paraxylene One year on from gasoline reformulation is the 2006 peak likely to return and be a repeat event or will better supplied gasoline markets exert a less threatening influence this summer?
PTA The start-up of 6 worldscale PTA plants in China is heralding a global slide in PTA as traditional suppliers begin to lose market share and face a harsh future. How is North America adjusting to deal with the threat of a massive Asian PTA surplus?
MEG The delays and slippage on new plants have changed the prognosis for the MEG balances for 2007 and 2008. What impact will this have on North American producers?
PET North America continues to attract investment, yet is also in the process of restructuring for the future. What other developments may occur in the coming 12-18 months?
Polyester Fibers Has China?s influence really waned as the import figure would have us believe and where are the threats coming from?

The PCI Consulting Group Fibres & Raw Materials Conference 2009
11 May 2009 - 11 June 2009
JW Marriott Hotel, Pacific Place, Hong Kong
The 2008 conference came at a very difficult time,
when the industry was going through a severe
destocking process following the first impact of the
global recession. It was therefore a key moment
for delegates to come together. A strong gathering,
considering the conditions, was able to take the
opportunity of networking and also benefit from a
wide variety of presentations covering many
aspects of the downturn.
We have now seen some supply-side recovery as
inventories are brought into line with new levels of
consumption and as market shares for certain
fibres are adjusted. The 2009 Conference is
therefore ideally timed to determine the real
strength of demand. It also comes at an extremely
important point as regards determining not only
the extent of the recession but also the nature of
the recovery, as regards both its strength and its
timing. The PCI team of consultants, with its
detailed, independent and long-term analysis will
also point to those markets where the recovery is
most likely to emerge first.
A well-structured and extensive 1? day
programme is planned, covering all major fibre
groups and their raw materials, including
polyester, acrylic and nylon fibres together with
important papers on natural fibres and the
economic and trading environments in which the
industry operates. The programme will include
highly respected speakers from the industry with a
full range of papers from the PCI team.
The PCI Consulting Group comprises the largest
and most experienced team worldwide for
specialised business consultancy in global fibres
and their raw materials and this conference
provides a timely and cost-effective event for
industry participants to meet, interact and discuss
important topics with industry colleagues and
PCI´s consultancy staff. We hope you will join us
in Hong Kong in November 2009.
