I am in Atlanta and if you see me walking aimlessly about town on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with a glassy look in my eyes it is because the kickoff of our 6th Steel Summit Conference is on Monday. We are essentially sold out, every seat in the house should be filled. We have an exceptional program and we expect our attendees will enjoy the variety and depth of our speakers as well as the networking opportunities.
When at the conference please take a moment to share your thoughts with us. We will have an area set up with a photographer where you can leave us a testimonial about the conference, newsletter or one of our workshops. We will also have a roving camera taking candid shots and getting real time comments.
The App will be used during the conference – please download it and play with it a little bit before you get to the conference. If you need help: Brett@SteelMarketUpdate.com. There are a number of comments in the Activity Feed section. Check the Agenda and look for polling questions that you might be able to answer before arriving.
You can use the camera feature by going to the Activity Feed section and then clicking on the pen and paper logo in the top right hand corner of the screen. From there you can click on the camera icon, take a picture and then write a comment about the photo which will be shared with everyone who is registered. To publish the photo and comments click the check mark at the top right hand corner of the screen.
If you are not registered for the conference you are able to download the App but you will not be able to use the App as each conference is password protected.
I am going to keep this short this evening as we have more work to do on the conference…
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

We're getting ready to initiate the 10-day countdown until Steel Summit 2025 in Atlanta. Liftoff is on Aug. 25, and the conference goes through Aug. 27. With the speed at which things have moved this year, it will be great to take a breath and reflect on what's happened so far.

Yesterday’s tragedy and loss of life at U.S. Steel’s Clairton Works is a stark reminder of how important safety in the workplace really is.

Final Thoughts: Pig iron ‘sideways’
What the word "sideways" means can depend on where you sit on the procurement spectrum.
