Celebrating Progress, Partnership and Community

Join us for a special evening as we celebrate the 9th anniversary of the Asian Lubricants Industry Association (ALIA) and nine years of connection, collaboration and industry engagement across Asia Pacific.
Since its founding in 2017, ALIA has grown into a regional platform connecting businesses and professionals across the lubricants value chain, fostering industry collaboration, knowledge sharing and professional development.
Held alongside ALE 2026, the ALIA Anniversary Dinner brings together members, exhibitors, industry leaders and invited guests for an evening of conversation, connection and celebration beyond the exhibition floor.
The evening will begin with a cocktail reception at 6:00 PM, followed by dinner and a keynote address. It is an opportunity to reconnect with colleagues, build new relationships and celebrate the people and partnerships that continue to shape ALIA and the lubricants industry across the region.
