We discovered earlier today that our office phones (including our 800 number) are down and calls are not being transferred or going to voicemail. We are in touch with Comcast to get the issue resolved. Although we understand it is a system wide failure not just our phones. In the meantime, if you need to reach the office regarding questions, registration or other issues please contact Brett Linton at 706-216-2140. He can also be reached at: Brett@SteelMarketUpdate.com. If you need to speak with me I can be reached at 770-596-6268 or by email at: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com. You can keep these numbers and email addresses in your SMU “happy place” should you ever have issues trying to reach our offices.
We have officially exceeded the number of registrations we had for last year’s Steel Summit Conference and we still have 48 days to go. We do have a list of companies listed on our website (just below the sponsors on the right hand side of the Steel Summit pages). If you want to know who exactly is registered you will need to be registered yourself. Then you can use our SMU Events App (available in your App store at no cost) to search attendees.
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.
