The Conference will be staged at Hotel Laguna Palace in Venice mainland, Mestre. Thanks to a long and successful series, the Rolling conferences have become the premier international event for rolling practitioners world-wide. The target audience embraces the whole metals rolling community: flat and long products rolling, hot and cold rolling and ferrous and non-ferrous rolling. The forum will cover product and process topics, encompassing rolled product  properties, quality and applications, in addition to the design, control and management of mill assets.

The Conference will bring together rolling practitioners, steel producers, plant designers and researchers and it will provide a forum for best practices and state-of-the-art technology. It will also take a look at developments in the foreseeable future. The Conference will be chaired by Gianpietro Benedetti – President of Danieli.

A Scientific & Steering Committee, of distinguished international professionals and researchers – chaired by Prof. Wolfgang Bleck – RWTH Aachen, Germany - will be appointed to guarantee the high quality of the Conference and a systematic and correct selection of the paper.

The Conference will cover topics concerning:

• New process, technology and facilities for flat products, long products and pipes


• Thin slab casting and inline rolling


• Strip casting


• Thermomechanical processes


• Automation, measurements and control technology


• Re-heating furnaces


• Galvannealing of rolled products


• Equipment and maintenance


• Mathematical modeling and simulation


• Surface modification and steel deep-working


• Clean rolling


• Advanced products development and application
