First SMU/CRU Joint Webinar for SMU Customers and Prospects Only
Written by John Packard
November 16, 2018
On Wednesday, Nov. 28, Steel Market Update along with CRU will conduct our first SMU-focused webinar. This webinar is available to all current member companies as well as our potential new customers. I will be leading the discussion on how SMU is seeing the current market situation, and a mid-term forecast will be provided by CRU Principal Analyst Josh Spoores. We anticipate our first webinar will be relatively compact (40 minutes) as we try to provide some detail about the market in a new way for SMU, as well as to answer some of the questions received from those of you who will be listening in.
A couple of quick points regarding the webinar: 1) There is no cost to attend the webinar. This is a service for our member companies and those who are considering become a member (customer) of Steel Market Update. 2) Yes, you can register others from your company to listen in. Each person will need to register with their name and email address. 3) If you want to ask a question of Josh Spoores or myself, we request they be done in advance by sending them to: info@SteelMarketUpdate.com
Here is the link to register for the webinar, which begins at 10 a.m. ET on Nov. 28.
