SMU Steel Summit Registrations Aim for Record
Written by John Packard
It is clearly in the crosshairs. What we are referring to is the record for attendance at a SMU Steel Summit Conference. We set the record in 2017 with 667 registrations and 650 attendees (17 were unable to come due to Houston hurricane). Registrations just broke through the 600-person barrier and with 78 days to go we are on our way to setting a new record for registrations and attendance.
The conference begins at 1:30 PM on Monday, Aug. 27, and continues until 3 PM on Wednesday, Aug. 29. The location of the conference is the Georgia International Convention Center (www.gicc.com), which is conveniently located adjacent to the Atlanta International Airport (ATL). No cab or car rental is needed to reach the convention center and the three main hotels located next to the GICC facility. There is a free Sky Train that services the convention center and the “Gateway” hotels. The trip time from the GICC to the airport is about 5-10 minutes, so you can make that 5 PM flight out of Atlanta without missing any of the program.
