We Want You to Join Us for 8th SMU Steel Summit Conference
Written by John Packard
April 13, 2018
It’s simple. SMU wants to invite all of our readers and those that come to visit our website from time to time to attend our 8th SMU Steel Summit Conference in Atlanta on Monday, Aug. 27 through Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 29. We expect there will be about 800 reasons for attending (expected attendance) along with an exceptional program, which continues to grow and mature. If you are going to go to one steel-related event during calendar year 2018, this is THE PREMIER steel conference of the year in North America.
We want to take this opportunity to thank all of our sponsors; without their assistance we would have to charge significantly more for our conference. Each of our sponsors will have representatives at this year’s event. We also will have a number of exhibitors for you to visit with during breaks or one of our networking/cocktail parties, which begin right after the day’s events have concluded (4 PM). If you would like to become part of THE event of the year, you can register online at www.SteelMarketUpdate.com/events/steel-summit or you can contact our office at 772-932-7538. If you would like to get information about exhibiting at this year’s event, please contact Jill Waldman at Jill@SteelMarketUpdate.com
