Nearly 900 steel industry professionals from about 400 companies have already registered to attend the Summit, Aug. 26-28 at the Georgia International Convention Center (GICC) in Atlanta.
The Summit will feature speakers from all facets of the steel supply chain, as well as analysts, economists, and associations. You’ll hear the latest on steel prices, trade, demand, and more. There will also be plenty of opportunities to network and grow your industry connections.
Check out the agenda to see what topics experts will speak about at this year’s Summit.
