Steel Summit is Monday-Wednesday, Aug. 21-23, in Atlanta at the Georgia International Convention Center (GICC). The agenda is here
All Steel Market Update and CRU subscribers get a $100 discount, and there is a group discount of $100 per person for companies that register two or more people together. Both discounts can be combined for a savings of $200 when registrations are booked at the same time. An additional discount is available for members of the NexGen Metals Community.
The GICC is located next to the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and you can get from the airport to the event on a free tram. All the discounted hotel room blocks are booked, but there are still rooms available at hotels in the area.
