Welcome message from the AOSD Chairman
    On behalf of AOSD, I am pleased to announce the upcoming the 11th Asia-Oceanic Steel Drum International Conference (the 11th AOSD conference) to be held in Incheon, Korea, in April 2024, marking a significant return to international gatherings since our last meeting in Suzhou, China, in 2019. This time, Insung Co., Ltd. from Korea will be hosting the conference, providing a splendid venue at Paradise City in Incheon, known as Korea's gateway. Both Insung Co., Ltd. and the AOSD Secretariat are actively engaged in vigorous preparations to ensure the success of this conference.
The theme of the conference, ‘Steel Drums : A Step Towards Global Sustainability’, continues our commitment to addressing environmental issues, building on the foundation laid in the previous conference. 　Steel drums and pails are recognized as industrial containers with excellent environmental utility in the realization of a sustainable global society. However, we aspire to go beyond current achievements by fostering an unwavering spirit of exploration, aiming to improve manufacturing technologies and undertaking the challenge of environmental measures. This will enable us to make an even greater contribution to global sustainability through steel drums and pails. We anticipate an array of ambitious presentations and lively discussions from a broad perspective during this conference.

  We sincerely welcome this opportunity and earnestly hope for the active participation of as many individuals as possible in this vibrant exchange. We look forward to meeting you all in Incheon.

Welcome message from the AOSD Vice Chairman
    On behalf of Korean steel drum manufacturers, it is my greatest pleasure and honor to welcome you all to the 11th AOSD conference, which will be convened in the beautiful city of Incheon, Korea from April 22 to 24, 2024.
Korea, with passionate and motivated steel drum producers, had the pleasure of hosting the 4th AOSD conference in Gyeongju and is once again delighted to be the proud host of the 11th AOSD conference in Incheon.

Under the theme, 'Steel Drums : A Step Towards Global Sustainability' we will gather under one roof to envision tomorrow’s steel drum industry, aligning with global environmental protection and corporate social responsibility. The 11th AOSD conference surely will be an excellent podium where all participants can be enlightened and inspired in every way through in-depth discussions and engaging dialogues among the industry’s finest, and where your business network expands within and beyond the conference.

I sincerely hope that our gathering in Incheon for the 11th AOSD conference will illuminate the end of the tunnel of uncertainty stemming from the unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak and provide the best experience for all participants.

I very much look forward to having the pleasure of welcoming you to Incheon next April.
