Watch the LIVE DEMO of the SMU Virtual Steel Summit

Written by John Packard


In the SMU Community Chat webinar last week, Paul Terry of CRU and John Packard of Steel Market Update gave a live demo of the virtual event platform that will be the SMU Steel Summit 2020 Virtual Conference.

If you missed the webinar, you can watch the live demo here. We explain networking, agenda, exhibition and other interesting tidbits that are part of this year’s virtual event.

So if you’re still unsure of how the SMU Summit can work online, be sure to watch–we have had great feedback.

Best Ever Agenda!

With participation from six steel mill CEO’s, economists and analysts galore, steel buyers and industry leaders, an expert on elections and election ethics, and more, the agenda and speaker line-up is probably our best ever.

Whether you’re starting out in the steel business, or a seasoned professional or CEO, there really is something for everyone.

Nominations Close August 5th

The SMU NexGen Leadership Award is designed to recognize and celebrate the excellence of emerging leaders within the greater steel community. 

Every qualifying nominee will be given a free place at this year’s SMU Steel Summit Virtual Conference. More information on what makes a great nomination can be found here. But hurry – nominations close tomorrow, August 5!

Register today so you don’t miss out on the Welcome Pack!

No conference would be complete without the welcome pack you receive when picking up your badge and the other useful items you collect as you visit exhibitors at the show. We want the virtual experience to be memorable, and not just because of COVID-19!

To give you that tangible aspect of the event, book your place prior to August 5 to receive a Welcome Pack – but supplies are limited, so these will only be available while supplies last!

The box will contain useful items from some of our generous sponsors, and will also contain a little something from us here at SMU.

T&C’s apply: Welcome packs available while stocks last. Registrations to be received on or prior to August 5th, 2020. Delivery will be to USA/Canada only. Recipients will be contacted after August 5th to confirm delivery address. No cash alternative will be offered.
