Happy Independence Day Weekend for those in the United States and Happy Dominion Day (150 years) for those in Canada. I hope everyone is enjoying some extra time off with family and friends.
From here all is quiet – the only news we have to share is a change in the date of our next Steel 101: Introduction to Steel Making & Market Fundamentals workshop, which will be held in Ft. Wayne, Ind., and will include a tour of the SDI Butler facility. The dates on this workshop are Wednesday, October 4th and Thursday, October 5th, 2017. We should have registration details up on our website right after the conclusion of the Independence Day Weekend. If you have any questions, feel free to contact our offices at 800-432-3475 or info@SteelMarketUpdate.com
Have a good Holiday Weekend. We will be closed on Monday and Tuesday but we will check messages.
As always, your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

Then again, with what Hollywood is putting out these days, Chatter Meets Chat might just turn out to be a hit. Rather, it’s that old idea of putting theory into practice. Recently, I conducted an interview with Doug Schrock, managing principal of AI at public accounting and consulting firm Crowe. He gave some tips on how to implement AI into your business.
