We have passed through 700 registered attendees for this year’s SMU Virtual Steel Summit Conference. Activity has been high and we are confident we will reach our 800+ registered attendee goal. We will be the largest steel conference (live or virtual) in North America this calendar year.
Those who have seen our platform are excited. We are working on some special events that will assist in getting people used to networking in a virtual environment. Who knows, you may meet your next new customer or supplier at this year’s conference.
