A picture is worth a thousand words, as they say. In that case, here are a number of photos from our 2017 SMU Steel Summit Conference, which will help those who were unable to attend get a feel for what happened, how many people attended (661 registrations from 309 companies) and the networking that went on during the event. We hope you will join us next year for our 8th SMU Steel Summit Conference, which will be held in Atlanta at the Georgia International Convention Center over three days during the week of Aug. 27, 2018. Mark your calendars now and remember to include it in your budget for 2018.
