New York Palladium Event 2020
Can palladium and rhodium keep their shine post-Covid?
In 2020, our New York PGM event was held as an exclusive invitation-only online event. Although extremely disappointed at being obliged to cancel our event in Oxford due to the Covid-19 crisis, we felt that it was very important to find a way to deliver SFA’s planned Lectures to the industry at this time, particularly in light of the cancellation of New York Platinum Week. This exclusive SFA closed event lasted for around two hours and presentations from our speakers, followed by live Q&A sessions where delegates had the opportunity to pose questions to each speaker.
