August 24, 2017
There are 307 companies registered to attend this year’s SMU Steel Summit Conference which begins next Monday. The conference is SOLD OUT and we apologize to the procrastinators out there as we can no longer accept any new registrations. The companies registered are listed below. Those with a (*) next to the company name means more than one person is registered to attend from that company.
The 2018 SMU Steel Summit Conference will be held on August 27-29th. Mark your calendars now.
Here are the attending companies registered as of earlier this week. Those with an asterisk (*) next to their name indicates that two or more people are attending from that one company.
