The SMU Steel Summit is essential for all decision makers in the steel industry. The strong agenda will provide you with updates on the key issues facing the North American steel industry. Gather with your peers and get three days of high-quality information, network and do business.
A top-level lineup of speakers will lead the discussions. Get the latest market updates from steel industry experts as well as macro analysts, allowing you to make better-informed decisions for your business.
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. But there are a few places left elsewhere. The Atlanta Airport Marriott Gateway Hotel has limited availability on Monday and Tuesday nights. The SpringHill Suites at Atlanta Airport Gateway and the AC Hotel at Atlanta Airport Gateway also have availability, but they are booking quickly.
You can join those already registered for this year’s event by clicking here or going to https://www.events.crugroup.com/smusteelsummit/home
We look forward to seeing you in Atlanta!
