Previous Webinars
SMU launched its “SMU Community Chat” webinar series in April 2020 following the COVID-19 outbreak. The idea: To bring in experts to discuss subjects of importance to the steel community we serve. These webinars will be typically hosted every other Wednesday at 11 AM Eastern Time.
We allot 45 minutes so you can tune in, learn something and still stay on top of your day-to-day responsibilities. It’s also a good way for you and your employees to remain connected to the rest of the industry.
The webinars are free of charge and hosted on Zoom. We provide the subject matter a week or two prior to the meeting. This allows you time to prepare questions for the live Q&A portion of the webinar.
Please send your suggestions for content and speakers to smu.editorial@crugroup.com.
SMU Members have access to recordings of past webinars, available below for logged-in users.
Note that some recordings start with a brief wait, so you may need to skip ahead to reach the first speaker.
