Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard
As the Tuesday work day was coming to a close we want our readers to know that there is a meeting going on in the White House with a number of steel mill CEO’s, members of the WH staff and Wilbur Ross. According to World Trade Online the subject being discussed is Section 232… SMU will watch closely for reports on the meeting as they become known. However, our readers need to be aware that we may well be within a day or two of learning more about the recommendations that will be made by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Our 2016 SMU Steel Summit Conference welcomed 434 attendees to Atlanta. That was approximately 100 more attendees than what we saw in 2015. With 40 days to go before the beginning of the 2017 conference registrations just passed 520 executives and we are bearing down on 534 which would break the 2016 record by 100 attendees. I want to thank everyone who has been telling their suppliers, customers or steel friends about our conference.
