Final Thoughts

We are now one week away from the start of the 2018 SMU Steel Summit Conference. We are continuing to accept registrations, and we expect the conference to be completely full when we kick off at 1 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 27. If you would like to register, you can do so on our website or by contacting our office at 772-932-7538.

We have a very strong program from beginning to end. We start on Monday with a timely program on trade, duties and tariffs. We have trade attorney Lewis Leibowitz and Jean Carrol Kemp who is Steel Manufacturers Association Senior Vice President, Government Affairs and Trade Policy. They will begin with some opening statements, but their real purpose is to answer those nagging questions you might have about Section 232, AD/CVD, exclusions and the exclusion process, Turkey, China or whatever else you have on your mind. We have extended this segment from 45 minutes to 75 minutes to make sure we get to as many questions as possible. Reminder, this program begins at 1 p.m., not 1:30 p.m., as we originally planned.
