3rd North American Steel Conference
12-14 October 2009
The Fairmont Hotel, Chicago, IL

The 3rd North American Steel Conference will once again bring together consumers, steel mills, fabricators, service centers and financial analysts. The event presents a unique opportunity for delegates to meet and hear from senior- level representatives from companies involved in the North American steel market, both on the user and supplier-side.
More than 350 high-level delegates attended in 2008 and we anticipate an even larger and more influential audience in 2009.
