With the pace that news has been breaking lately, there will be no shortage of things to discuss. You can hear directly from experts on what’s happening and how to stay a step ahead. See the full agenda here.
So far, nearly 800 steel industry professionals have signed up, and we’re on pace to exceed last year’s record attendance of over 1,500! That means a lot of ideas to share, tons of networking, and plenty of new people to meet. So, bring your business cards.
And nearly 400 companies have registered to attend. You can check out that list here.
