INTRODUCTION:

The economic recovery has spread from non OECD regions to many of the world’s OECD countries. However recovery is fragile and as steel industry executives are forced to adapt to restricted credit availability, reduced demand, economic fragility, and the uncertainty that still clouds the markets, the need to meet with your peers in the industry, gauge direction and forge closer working relationships is as critical as ever.
