Notes from the Walls and Halls of New York City
Written by John Packard
The steel world (which is not as large as it used to be) is in New York City this week to attend (lobby call) the Steel Success Strategies Conference hosted by World Steel Dynamics and their AMM partners. It is the one place (other than SMU Steel Summit Conference – hint, hint) where one can run into CEO’s of steel companies, mining companies, trading companies, steel analysts and all kinds of sales and purchasing people who never get to see the inside of the conference as they are too busy meeting with one another and trying to solve (understand) the woes of the industry and, maybe, actually buy or sell some steel.
Hey, it’s New York City and no matter how good or bad business might be, everyone is having fun (or looking for a job).
