Where the industry meets: This is the only flat rolled and plate focused steel conference in North America where you will find such a high concentration of decision makers.
Over the past week, we have seen a rise in bookings. As a result, the hotels close to the convention center are filling up. The Atlanta Airport Renaissance Gateway Hotel room block has sold out.
