Meet, trade and negotiate with the global steel supply chain

Trading and contract negotiation is a key conference feature. Whether you trade steelmaking raw materials or finished steel, you’ll get invaluable access to potential suppliers, buyers and traders – all in one place. Running concurrently to the closed-door trading, conference sessions will provide actionable insights into current and expected prices, as well as supply/demand outlooks. Then you can make truly informed purchasing/selling decisions.

Multiple opportunities to meet new or existing contacts

There’s no better place to meet existing and new business contacts, with extended lunch and coffee breaks, more evening drinks receptions and a new breakfast meeting. In addition to all these social functions, a networking lounge, meeting spaces and enhanced seating areas provide perfect spots for talking business throughout the conference.

Meet our very own industry experts

Enjoy dedicated opportunities – throughout the event – to connect with and discuss pressing industry topics with our very own analysts and editorial staff. You’ll also get their expert insight during the agenda sessions, and you can visit our Fastmarkets booth in the exhibition hall.

Meetings and networking made easy

This year, we’ve improved the event app so you can now filter by product buy/sell options. The result is more targeted networking and outreach, both before and during the conference.

Even more places for those important discussions

A dedicated networking lounge, complete with even more seating and areas for meetings – the perfect place to relax and make connections to benefit your business.
