Written by Brett Linton
February 23, 2019
We are pleased to unveil the first look at the 2019 SMU Steel Summit Conference program. It has taken six months to get the agenda for this year’s conference to this point. It will be six more months of finetuning before we unleash the speakers, the videos, and the music on those who will be in attendance. Expect more surprises over the next six months as we strive to host the premier steel conference in North America.
Steel Market Update expects to welcome over 1,000 executives to our Steel Summit Conference in Atlanta Aug. 26-28, 2019. To register, visit: www.SteelMarketUpdate.com/Events/Steel-Summit or contact our office at 706-216-2140.
