Nominate in the Global Gypsum Awards 2023 (Nominations end on 1 September 2023)

The annual Global Gypsum Conference is well-known around the world as the largest meeting of gypsum professionals and as the must-attend gypsum event. The 21st Global Gypsum Conference in 2022 will meet in Chicago and will appeal to gypsum and wallboard producers from around the globe.

The conference venue is particularly large and well-appointed, and will allow delegates and exhibitors plenty of space in which to meet and do business.

The not-to-be-missed Global Gypsum Awards Dinner will take place on 31 October - Halloween - and will be a fancy dress spectacular - with prizes for the best-dressed: it will be a lot of fun!

The event will be co-located with the Global Insulation Conference and Exhibition, after a survey of participants in both industries which was strongly positive towards co-location. Delegates with different interests will be identified by their delegate badges. All of the combined conference social events (Welcome Party, Gala Dinner, Farewell Reception) will be held jointly. After joining together for a unified welcome and for VIP presentations, the audience will be able to choose its preferred topic, since each conference will have its own dedicated lecture theatre, with parallel sessions for gypsum and for insulation. Lunch and break times are likely to be staggered.

The registration fee includes attendance at the conference and exhibition, programme book, all available presentations in pdf format, participation in networking/speed-dating sessions, delegate name badge, special distribution magazine, conference briefcase if available, coffee breaks and snacks, lunches, welcome reception and farewell reception. The registration fee also includes any required on-site Covid testing.

Super Early registration is £595 and ends on 31 January 2023. After the Super Early rate, the Early Bird rate of £695 will apply from 1 February until the end of 31 March 2023, followed by the Standard rate of £795 from 1 April and the Final rate of £895 after 1 September 2023. Gypsum producers benefit from a £100 discount on these registration fees. Confirmed speakers register for £495, while confirmed gypsum-producer speakers register free. Registration fees do not include the conference dinner. 

Registration opens soon.

The popular Spouse Tour Programme includes the Welcome and Farewell receptions, the Global Gypsum Awards Dinner and two tours during the conference (a Lisbon city tour and a tour to the spectacular palace/castle of Sintra), and is bookable during registration for £345. Spouses will also be obliged to comply with the event's Covid protocols.

Please note that fees quoted do not include any applicable additional taxes.

Note: The organisers reserve the right to alter future registration fees on an ongoing-basis, if required by currency movements or other unavoidable circumstances. Pre-existing bookings will not be affected.
