AMM 8th Steel Scrap Conference

USA(SCRAPMONSTER)This year the 8th Steel Scrap Conference moves south as steelmaking stakeholders turn their eyes towards developments in the DRI industry. Reflecting this important evolution in steel making in the US, the 8th Steel Scrap Conference will run alongside the 2nd DRI & Mini-mills Conference. While maintaining its well established focus on all issues pertaining the steel scrap market, the conference will also be enhanced by plenary sessions that cover market changes in the steel industry, before splitting into the DRI and scrap specific steams. With one registration to the Steel Scrap Conference allowing access to both streams, this is the only place to hear about the relationship between steel making and two of its key raw materials in the US market.
