SMU Steel Summit Lodging’s Filling Up Fast
Written by Tim Triplett
May 30, 2019
Lodging is filling up fast for Steel Market Update’s Steel Summit, scheduled for Aug. 26-28 in Atlanta. We are working to extend our room blocks at the nearby event hotels, but in some cases full racks rates of nearly $400 per night may apply.
Event hotels include the Atlanta Airport Marriott Gateway, SpringHill Suites Gateway, Renaissance Gateway, and the Atlanta Airport Marriott located an exit south of the Georgia International Convention Center. As of Thursday, May 30, the Marriott Gateway block was sold out. The Springhill Suites Gateway had a few rooms still available for Monday and Tuesday of the conference, with checkout on Wednesday. Ten more rooms were recently added at the Renaissance, also for Monday and Tuesday with checkout on Wednesday. The Airport Marriott, about a mile away from the convention center, still has ample availability. A shuttle will run regularly to transport summit attendees back and forth.

We have been advised that some registrants may have had difficulty with our current UK-based payment system, which will occasionally decline a credit card because of its fraud alert system. We are working to integrate PayPal, which should rectify the problem. In the meantime, should you have any issues with registration or lodging, email Events@SteelMarketUpdate.com or call Brett Linton at 770-299-9897.
We are nearly two-thirds of the way to our goal of 1,000 conference attendees with three months to go until the big event. For more information about the conference agenda, visit our website at www.SteelMarketUpdate.com/Events/Steel-Summit The registration link for the conference can be found here
