SMU Steel Summit Conference Sponsors
Written by John Packard
March 1, 2019
It takes an army to put on a steel conference the size of the SMU Steel Summit Conference. One of the ways we help temper the cost of the conference is through the assistance of our sponsors. Their sponsorship keeps our conference viable and our ticket prices reasonable. SMU wants to thank all of our sponsors who are listed below. There is only one sponsor spot left open. If you are interested, contact Jill Waldman at Jill@SteelMarketUpdate.com
Registration is open and the number of attendees already registered is running a little ahead of last year’s pace when we had 912 total attendees. You can find more information at www.SteelMarketUpdate.com/events/steel-summit or you can register by clicking on this link.
