Written by Kristen DiLandro
Register for Steel 101, space is limited. Don’t miss it!
Did you know one of Hollywood’s favorite set locations is also the site of SMU’s next Steel 101 workshop? The workshop is an excellent way to build a solid foundation of steel knowledge or sharpen your existing understanding.
Join us on location at the Nucor CSI facility in Ontario, California, on Jan. 13-14, 2026.
Attendees will not only get a glimpse of where Terminator 2: Judgement Day was filmed but also have an up-close look at how steel is made during a guided tour of Nucor-CSI.
The Steel 101 workshop was created for people of all ages and experience levels. Whether you are in sales, purchasing, logistics, operations, or support, you’ll come away with a better understanding of how steel is made, how it’s priced, and what drives the market.
Beyond being entertained by the process, what makes Steel 101 workshops valuable is the instructors. You’ll learn from seasoned veterans with decades of industry experience ranging from the mill side to end uses, and everywhere in between. They’ll not only teach you the fundamentals of the product and industry, but they’ll also share their real-world insights.
Feel the heat, see the fiery sparks, experience the cinematic steelmaking experience for yourself. Transform your textbook knowledge into a real-world experience. And, if you’re a movie buff, you’ll walk away from this workshop with some film trivia you can use to dazzle your steel industry counterparts.
Seats are limited, so if you’re thinking about joining us in Ontario, now’s the time to sign up. We’d love to see you there!
