Written by Brett Linton
April 7, 2014
Every year the metals industry in the Chicago area produces a fund-raiser for the Boy Scouts of America. As the years have gone by, the dinner has become one of the premium networking opportunities for those associated in the steel and non-ferrous metals industries. We have heard this year’s event, which will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Chicago on May 1st, is promising to be one of the largest in years.
Steel Market Update will be in attendance this year and we are looking forward to seeing a number of our customers and friends in the crowd. You can learn more about the event and how to obtain tickets by either clicking here or on the image below.
