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).
