A lot has changed since we all roamed the exhibition hall last year at the Georgia International Convention Center. Most of us are not roaming anywhere this year, out of caution over the coronavirus. In response, Steel Market Update and our parent company the CRU Group have pivoted quickly and embraced the challenge of producing THE best “virtual” steel conference in North America.
We believe we’re offering an incredible value to our attendees with an amazing agenda and lineup of experts who will explore today’s challenges. Our platform also offers high-level networking opportunities with public and private chats, video chats, and ways to book meetings right into your personal calendar for a fully integrated conference experience that fits into your workday.
We’ve also worked hard to replicate the live conference experience with our Exhibition Hall, and have had very enthusiastic support from our exhibitors. Many of them have chosen to offer giveaways to enhance the Exhibit Booth interaction and add value to your experience at the Steel Summit. Here are some examples of the generous offerings attendees can register to win by inquiring at exhibitors’ booths:
Big Ass Fans—a Haiku Series Ceiling Fan
Brown Gibbons Lang & Company—Apple Airpods or Samsung Galaxy Buds
CME Group—Apple Airpods
Crowe—Boze Wireless Headphones
Felux—Amazon Gift Card
FMA—Free Membership
JButler—Free Assessment
Heidtman—Amazon Gift Card
Magic Coil Products—Amazon Gift Card
Reibus—iPAD, PC Headset and Gift Card
Ryan Avery, The Keynote Speaker—Free Consultation
Ryerson—Echo Dot
We hope you’ll visit the more than 35 exhibition booths on our virtual platform, engage and explore, and come away with new connections, greater insight to where our industry is headed and perhaps a really great prize!
See you there!
