Steel Survival Strategies XXIV

Opportunities in Crisis

June 22 - 24, 2009 , Sheraton NY Hotel and Towers, NYC

What a difference a year makes!

At Steel Success Strategies XXIII, the industry was in the midst of steel’s greatest bull market in decades and many were in disagreement about the provocative Keynote Presentation by World Steel Dynamics, Inc. that predicted the plummet of prices in the second-half of 2008.

As 2009 begins, the market has fallen even further than predicted and the steel industry is preparing itself for the tough road ahead. To help plan this path, the steel industry's must-attend event has returned to its roots and rebranded itself Steel Survival Strategies XXIV: Opportunities in Crisis.

Be it Steel Success or Survival, every year the delegates of this conference form a who’s-who list of the global steel industry. SSS is the premier North American steel industry event where you’ll be presented with an unrivalled program, exceptional networking opportunities, and an expanding exhibit showcase where you can talk personally with important suppliers to the industry.

To capitalize on Opportunities in Crisis, Steel Survival Strategies XXIV is the one event you can't afford to miss!
