Written by Ethan Bernard
December 15, 2023
The 2024 Tampa Steel Conference is coming up soon after the kickoff of 2024. One of the premier steel conferences in the US, it will be a great complement to our record-breaking SMU Steel Summit this past August.
The event runs from Sunday-Tuesday, Jan. 28-30, and will be at the JW Marriott Tampa Water Street hotel. You can learn more about the agenda, explore networking opportunities, and register here.
In addition to our event-filled program with the latest forecasts and intel from industry leaders, beat the cold with all the great options Tampa, Fla., offers during the winter. At the conference, these include outdoor networking receptions, a golf tournament, and a harbor tour of Port Tampa Bay.
We are nearing 300 booked attendees and are on track to beat last year’s record attendance. Though our blocked off accommodations have filled, many alternatives remain nearby.
This period is high season for tourism in Florida, and the conference follows the Gasparilla pirate festival. You’ll want to book your room soon!

- The Westin Tampa Waterside
- Marriott Water Street
- Embassy Suites by Hilton Tampa Downtown Convention Center
