Written by John Packard
July 24, 2022
We have seen a flurry of activity as we begin the countdown to the start of the 2022 SMU Steel Summit Conference, which will be held at the Georgia International Convention Center on August 22-24. I want to commend Jill Waldman and our events team for the work they have done to date, and for the work they will be doing over the next few weeks to ensure we have an exceptional event.
There will be many new speakers, new agenda topics, a new conference app, new exhibitors, as well as a couple of show and tell items (like an electric semi-truck).
We are now less than a month away from the start of the 2022 SMU Steel Summit Conference. Registrations continue to come in, and we are now past 1,000 total. We also continue to see new companies registering for the event this year. With about four weeks left, we anticipate that 1,100-1,200 executives will attend the conference.
