TECHNICAL COMMITTEE
The engineers and specialists who review every abstract, shape the program tracks, and put their own name behind what reaches the stage.
WHAT THE COMMITTEE DOES
THE QUALITY BAR BEHIND THE PROGRAM
The Middle East finally has its Advanced Refractory platform, and this time, we're raising the bar. The 2nd Middle East Advanced Refractory Materials Technical Exchange and Exhibition returns in February 2027 to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Bigger. Bolder. More essential than ever.
REVIEW
Every submitted abstract is read and scored against the program's technical bar before it goes straight to the agenda.
CURATE
Shape the four program tracks so that sessions build on each other across the three days, rather than repeating the same ground.
MENTOR
Give first-time speakers direct feedback on their abstract before they're confirmed for the stage.
REPRESENT
Stand behind the program's credibility with their own professional reputation and field experience.
TECHNICAL COMMITTEE
Backed by the Leaders Shaping Refractory Practice Across the Region.
