Within the space of a few days, all of us at SMU will be leaving on a jet plane. Wait, that’s not completely true. A couple of SMU staff in the Atlanta area will be driving to Steel Summit 2024. Still, the hour where we kick off the conference is quickly approaching. In anticipation, we are providing one of our handy-dandy crosswords in honor of the event.
So, we’re covering a bit of history, a bit of the present, and having a little fun. Then, come Monday morning, we will be hitting the ground running. Stay tuned for up-to-date market info, riveting speakers, top-notch networking, and—just maybe—a little fun as well.
Lastly, please remember to download the Steel Summit 2024 app! If you haven’t already, go to either the Apple or Android app stores and download it today.
