The 2024 Tampa Steel Conference is only nine weeks away. Tampa Steel is one of the premier steel conferences in the country. It is a great follow-up to the record-breaking SMU Steel Summit in August.
The event runs from Sunday-Tuesday, Jan. 28-30 and will be at the JW Marriott Tampa Water Street hotel. We anticipate beating last year’s mark with over 500 attendees.
There will be an outdoor networking reception on Sunday evening. A golf tournament and a harbor tour of Port Tampa Bay are slated for Monday morning, with the conference program beginning on Monday afternoon.
You’ll want to book your accommodations soon this year because rooms are going fast. This period is high season for tourism in Florida and just follows the Gasparilla pirate festival. You can learn more about the agenda, explore networking opportunities, and register here.
