On Wednesday, Aug. 11 at 11 a.m. ET, SMU CEO John Packard and Paul Terry of the CRU Events Team will conduct a free SMU Community Chat Webinar focused on this year’s SMU Steel Summit Conference, which will be held on Aug. 23-25 in Atlanta.

We will discuss:

  • The conference agenda, speakers and what to expect if you have never been to an SMU Steel Summit Conference.
  • The protocols expected to be in place at the time of the event.
  • The conference platform, which will replace the App used in the past. The platform is already open and available to all registered attendees whether in-person or virtual. We will discuss how to access the platform, the help desk, how to navigate the platform, the attendee list and how to contact an attendee now and during the event, streaming the live presentations, how to view missed presentations on demand, and much more.
