San Diego, CA

In association with IREPAS, SteelOrbis is organizing its first annual US conference in sunny San Diego, this summer.  The conference will consist of four unconventional sessions:

  • Major steel markets and the economy
  • Product focus breakouts, including  wire rod and long products
  • Steel futures and logistics
  • Trade legislation, including a debate between opposing sides

SteelOrbis provides wide coverage of the wire rod, wire and wire products industries.  As a result, there will be ample networking opportunities among the attendees of the conference.

An optional event that is taking place at this first conference is a trading workshop which will be conducted by experts in their fields.  Whether you are involved in imported steel or a representative of a steel mill that wants to export, this is a unique opportunity to understand inner workings of steel trading.  The one-day trading workshop will cover many diverse topics such as steel making, steel products, major markets and players, cost figures and price dynamics, logistics and chartering, trade legislation, steel futures and finance.

AWPA’s legal counsel – Fred Waite and Kimberly Young will be participating in the workshop and trade conference as speakers and moderator of a panel discussion.
