We’ve reached approximately 1,100 registrations for SMU’s 2023 Steel Summit Conference, which is only 31 days away. There’s still plenty of time to register, just click here.
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.
Companies from all corners of the North American market attend, but you’re sure to meet individuals from all over the world. This is a great opportunity to expand your network within the flat-rolled steel industry. Attendees are not only from steel mills, but from manufacturing companies, distribution, trading, steel mills, wholesalers, toll processors, and logistics companies.

Final thoughts
First off, we hope everyone had a safe and happy July 4th holiday, with fireworks seen and BBQs attended. Many parts of the country are quite toasty at the moment, signaling that, yes, summer has indeed arrived. And looking at our most recent survey results, the summer doldrums have arrived as well.
