Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard
We have had a couple of minor bugs but we hope to have registration open for the 2014 SMU Steel Summit Conference by late Monday or Tuesday of this week. The dates for the conference are September 3 & 4 and the location is the Georgia International Convention Center (GICC) which is located right next to the Atlanta International Airport – no need for car rental or taxi’s as there is a light rail shuttle which moves form just outside domestic baggage claim to the hotel we are using (Atlanta Airport Marriott Gateway) and the GICC. First stop and less than a five minute ride from the airport.
We have already announced a number of our speakers and we will continue to do so as the week progresses. So far we have mentioned John Ferriola, Nucor CEO; Timna Tanners, the number 1 rated metals and mining analyst with Bank of America Merrill Lynch and John Anton, Director of Steel Services for IHS Global Insight (Timna and John will be together again for their 4th Steel Summit Conference) and Mike Marley, scrap guru with Metal Prices. The conference will be held over a two day period so we have quite a few speakers yet to announce.
