Steel Market Update anticipates conducting five Steel 101 workshops during calendar year 2018. Our January workshop scheduled for Mobile, Ala., later this month is sold out. Steel Market Update’s next Steel 101: Introduction to Steel Making & Market Fundamentals Workshop will be held in Merrillville, Ind., on March 28-29, 2018. The two-day session will include a tour of the NLMK USA steel mill in Portage, Ind. This workshop is perfectly situated for those companies located in or near the Chicago metropolitan area or who appreciate the convenience of flying to the event through Midway or O’Hare International airports. Who attends one of our Steel 101 workshops and what value do companies who send attendees receive?

• Do you have new employees who would benefit from learning about steelmaking (EAF
  and Integrated Process) and rolling (both flat and long products), to better understand how
  steel is produced and sold and market factors that impact steel prices?

• Do you have employees who are moving from job to job (sales to purchasing, customer
  service to logistics, etc.)?

• Are you bringing in new executives from outside the steel industry?

• Are you interested in getting a “refresher” course on the steelmaking process for yourself
  or others in your company?

• Steel Market Update created our Steel 101: Introduction to Steel Making & Market
  Fundamentals Workshop just for you.

We are the only private steel training workshop that includes a tour of a working steel mill as part of the learning process.

We are the only steel training workshop where the instructors average more than 30 years of active experience on the subject they are teaching.

Every attendee receives a three-month Premium subscription to our Steel Market Update newsletter and full access to our website ($524 value).

Each workshop has a very diverse collection of attendees. We attract individuals from CEO’s and company presidents to purchasing managers, sales managers and salespeople, inside support people, quality and claims people and anyone deemed by their company to be an “up and comer” in the industry. Come rub shoulders with manufacturing companies, service centers, steel mills and others associated with the steel industry. The average class size is 25-30 people plus our six instructors.

Here is what one of our attendees thought of the workshop hosted earlier this year:

“Being new to the steel industry, I had so many questions! It is hard to sift through all the information found online and not get overwhelmed, but having this seminar is a good starting point to begin more in-depth searches and ask more intelligent questions. While you don’t walk out of this seminar as an expert, you do have a really good toolbox to become one in time. I thank the organizers and will try to get everyone in the company to eventually attend one of these in the future!” – Alejandra Bohorquez, Industrial Components of Texas
