You can register by clicking here (you made need to be logged into our website for the link to work properly).
I will be in New York City on the 13th and 14th of June as I attend a number of functions around the Steel Success Strategies conference. I am booked solid on the 13th but have some time available on Tuesday the 14th if anyone would like to have breakfast or share a cup of coffee. Just drop me an email at: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com
Don’t forget while in New York talk up our Steel Summit Conference…
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.
