SMU Steel Summit Conference: The App’s Where It’s At
Written by Ray Culley
June 12, 2019
Steel Market Update’s Steel Summit will be more digital than ever. The improved SMU Events App puts everything at your fingertips.
The App will provide easy access to the conference agenda, lists of speakers with biographical information, a complete list of the attendees, sponsors and exhibitors, and more. You can now connect, engage and follow up with other attendees in ways you have not been able to do in the past. You can search through the attendee list and find those you would like to contact, send an email to meet later or send company information with ease. And, with the SMU Events App, social media is integrated, as well. You can tweet or post to Facebook or LinkedIn during the event without leaving the App.
A popular part of the summit again this year will feature SMU President and CEO John Packard hosting “What Do You Think?” This interactive program offers all conference attendees the opportunity to provide their personal feedback on topics ranging from HRC pricing and Section 232 tariffs to business conditions and politics.
The SMU App is powered by DoubleDutch, one of the top 10 event apps in 2019. DoubleDutch has the most feature-rich offering on the market. Included in the SMU App this year:
- New look and more content
- Improved networking
- Access to all presentations from your laptop or computer
- Easier sign-on and password elimination
- Improved menu and navigation
- An easier way to schedule meetings with other attendees
- Improved polling
- Instant speaker ratings
Our industry can be as tech savvy as any, and SMU will continue to embrace the benefits of the best technology available at our next Steel Summit Conference, Aug. 26-28 in Atlanta.
The SMU Events App can be downloaded from your mobile application store (Play Store for Android users, App Store for IOS users). Search for “Steel Market Update Events” and look for the icon. If you have already registered for the Steel Summit Conference, you should have received an email with your password. If you have any issues logging in, contact Brett at Brett@SteelMarketUpdate.com.
We plan to roll out the app to our conference attendees in mid-July. At that time, registered attendees will receive an email notification with information on how to download, access and use the SMU Events App.
Registration is open and there are 73 days until the kick-off of the 2019 SMU Steel Summit Conference.
SMU is always concerned about your privacy, and no one outside of the conference has access to the App. It can be downloaded by anyone, but is password protected by conference. Someone not attending our conference would download a pretty SMU logo to their phone, but that’s all.
