SMU Steel Summit: Just 2 Weeks to Go!
Written by Becca Moczygemba
August 4, 2023
We’re two weeks away from the 13th annual SMU Steel Summit. You can still register here!
The event is Monday-Wednesday, Aug. 21-23, in Atlanta at the Georgia International Convention Center (GICC) and you can find the agenda 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.
If you’ve already registered, be sure to download the Steel Summit 2023 app from your app store. There you’ll find the agenda, a list of speakers and exhibitors, access to the live Q&A platform, a list of attendees, and more. The app is also a great way to start networking ahead of the event. It’s the best way to get the most out of your visit!

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.
