Crowe, a public accounting, consulting and technology firm, will host a workshop–“Technology Strategies: How Metals Companies are Making Digital Transformation a Reality”–as part of the 2020 SMU Steel Summit Conference. The workshop will be held at the Marriott Gateway Hotel next to the Georgia International Convention Center on Monday, Aug. 24, just prior to the opening of SMU’s conference that afternoon.
The workshop is open to executives from mills, processors, service centers, manufacturers and fabricators.
As part of the presentation, Crowe experts will be sharing the results of a technology survey now under way. Industry executives are encouraged to participate in Crowe’s 2020 Technology in Metals survey. This 10-minute survey seeks to determine how today’s business strategies will influence the future of technology in the metals industry. Responses will be accepted through May 15. As an added bonus, each completed survey participant is eligible for a chance to win a pair of Bose wireless headphones.
