    Final Thoughts

    Written by John Packard


    I want to thank everyone who has gone to the effort of registering early for our Steel Summit Conference. We are exceeding expectations having already registered three times as many people as we had at this time last year. If you have not yet registered we have provided a listing of the companies attending (so far) in a separate article in this issue of SMU.

    For those of you wondering, our SMU Events App is available for download in your App store. However, we are still in the process of loading all of the 2016 information into the App. We have not yet released it to all of the registered attendees (who are the only ones who will be able to get into the App). Our goal is to release it to our sponsors/exhibitors some time next week and then to our registered attendees by the second week of July. This should give you plenty of time to populate your profile (I believe you can download your LinkedIn photo directly into the App), search for others you would like to network with, review the sponsor and exhibitor information, speaker bio’s, etc. We will also have a part of our program dedicated to using the App in an interactive real time survey that we hope you will find interesting. For those of you who have the App from last year – don’t do anything quite yet. We are discussing how we want to manage the 2015 information with the 2016 for those who attended last year. We will advise.
