For commercial leaders in chemicals & ingredients
The Chemvalue Marketing & Sales Conference – small, sharp, and truly industry-only
Early October 2026 we’re launching an exclusive, deliberately small Marketing & Sales conference for the chemical & ingredient industry – built for open, honest exchange between practitioners .
WHY?
Let’s be real: the industry is in full-on multi-crisis mode – low demand, overcapacities, cost pressure, uncertainty, and transformation overload (sustainability + AI + digital) all at once.
This conference is about getting the best commercial outcomes out of that reality: protecting margin, sharpening differentiation, boosting efficiency, and finding growth pockets while others freeze.
No generic B2B blah-blah. And – apart from us 🙂 – no consultants or service vendors pitching from the sidelines.
Just hot, up-to-date topics that match what you’re dealing with (or should be dealing with) right now: Value Selling & Value Pricing, AI for commercial excellence, differentiation that holds up in front of Procurement, and sustainability that actually pays – plus a great location and a room full of people you’ll genuinely enjoy talking to.
That’s CHEMVALUE 2026.
100% Industry-specific
Chemicals & ingredients only – cases, language, reality.
Hot topics, real challenges
Hot up-to-date topics, focusing on your real challenges. And opportunities.
We’re among ourselves
Open, honest discussions – no posturing, no marketing & sales theatre.
By practitioners, not conference companies
Built and moderated by industry experts who know the field.
No vendor-pitch zone
No “service or consultancy companies trying to sell you something” (except the coffee).
Great people, great vibe

Nice location
