Welcome Message
ALIA Annual Meeting 2026
24–25 March 2026 • The St. Regis Bangkok, Thailand
Dear Members, Partners, and Friends of ALIA,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the ALIA Annual Meeting 2026, taking place on 24–25 March 2026 in the vibrant city of Bangkok, Thailand. This year’s theme, “Asia Ascending: Innovation, Collaboration, and Leadership in a Changing Global Lubricants Landscape”, reflects a pivotal moment for our industry. Asia is no longer just a growth market; it is rapidly becoming a global centre of innovation, technology development, and strategic leadership. As supply chains shift, consumer expectations evolve, and new technologies emerge, Asia’s role is increasingly influential in shaping the future of the global lubricants sector.
Hosting this year’s meeting in Bangkok underscores that momentum. As one of Asia’s most dynamic and interconnected hubs, bridging industry, innovation, and cultural exchange, Bangkok offers the ideal setting for meaningful dialogue and cross-sector collaboration. Our venue, the St. Regis Bangkok, provides a refined environment for strategic conversations, networking, and thought leadership, setting the stage for an engaging and productive two days.
I look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be an insightful and inspiring gathering. We invite you to register today to secure your place, and to keep checking this page for programme updates, speaker announcements, and additional event details in the coming weeks.
On behalf of the ALIA team, I look forward to seeing you in Bangkok for the ALIA Annual Meeting 2026.
Warm regards,
Linda Ismail-Rus

Testimonials
“It was an honour and a pleasure to attend the ALIA meeting 2025. As always, it was an excellent opportunity to meet people doing lubricant business in Asia and learn more about the market and specific needs of the fast growing southeast Asian economies. This enables also European companies to offer their products in these markets. However, exchange of information goes in both directions: also our colleagues from ALIA may make valuable contacts with European lubricant blenders and distributors attending the ALIA meeting.”
“What a fantastic experience – meaningful conversations, exciting market insights, endless opportunities, and, most importantly, reconnecting with industry friends and partners from around the world. It’s always inspiring to see the energy and innovation driving our industry forward.”
“It was a pleasure to speak at the ALIA Annual Meeting in Bali and to exchange ideas with such an open, engaged, and forward-thinking community. The conversations throughout the event were truly inspiring, and I deeply appreciated the opportunity to contribute. Through my ongoing work on the Sustainability Subcommittee, Technical Committee, and RRBO Task Force, this experience further strengthened my connection to the community, and I was grateful to support our shared goals through my committee involvement.”
