What to expect at the Virtual Event

With the 32nd Tampa Steel Conference beingh held as a virtual event in 2021, many of you may have questions about the virtual platform and how it will work.  

If you attended the SMU Steel Summit this past August, you know what a huge turnout we had and what a resounding success the virtual event was. The Tampa Steel Conference will run on the same platform, with the same benefits for attendees and sponsors.

“Absolutely loved how SMU pivoted to the virtual conference and knocked it out of the park!“

– Chad Gossard, Sales Manager, McNeilus Steel, Inc. 

The conference will provide you with high quality information and discussion; ample time to connect and catch up with your peers; and an unparalleled opportunity to network and grow your business. 

The virtual venue will be open the week before the event so you can set up your meetings in advance, and remain open for a few weeks after the live date, so you can catch up on any agenda items you missed and continue networking.

What to expect at the virtual event:

Upon logging into the conference, you will be greeted in the  lobby. From there, you can:

• Go to the auditorium –  watch the live program and participate in Q&As
• Enter the exhibit hall to meet with exhibitors, explore their products and services, and ask questions

• Visit the attendee list to network with fellow conference attendees, reach out via voice or video call with up to 25 participants, and request meetings.

The virtual program format has been reimagined with you in mind. Now you can attend sessions, explore the exhibition, meet your peers, and still have time to check in on your day-to-day job and other responsibilities. 

No need to choose between attending a session or  a meeting – you can do both!
You can also go back and watch all the conference sessions on-demand – at a time that suits you! The platform will remain open  for a week or two after the event. And you will have full access! For the first time, you will have an opportunity to view every piece of the agenda, explore every exhibition booth, and network with others who are in the platform.

The agenda is now available to view online and includes an all-star list of speakers. In these times of uncertainty, it’s more important than ever to have insider knowledge on the future of steel. Learn from the experts in and connected to steel, on where the industry is heading.
