Final Thoughts

I will be in New York City during this year’s Steel Success Strategies Conference. I just booked my hotel at the Marriott Marquise and for three days my total was just shy of $1700… Ugh. If you attend the SMU Steel Summit Conference and book while our room block is still available your cost for 2 nights will be (at worst) $308 (before taxes). However, if you wait until after our room block is depleted your cost could go as high as $500.

Please excuse me for harping on our conference this evening. I have been spending an extraordinary amount of time finishing off the SMU Steel Summit Conference program which we were able to do earlier this week. I am very pleased to have Michael Smerconish speak to our group toward the end of our program. As I looked at existing agenda, speakers and what was happening around us on a daily basis it became (to me) obvious that I needed to add someone to speak about the Trump Administration and how we got to where we are today (and that may be radically different on August 30th than it is on June 1st) and what was needed to get the train back on the rails.
