WALK-INS WELCOME - General Session begins Tuesday Morning

AMM Events’ Steel Tube & Pipe 2011 will feature speakers from the top oil country tubular goods (OCTG) and line pipe producers in North America and abroad. We’ll also bring you the views of executives at flat-rolled mills who are among the biggest providers of substrate to pipe and tube facilities.

The conference will get you up to speed on trends in current energy and steel markets with insight from analysts, distributors, and end users such as oil and gas drillers and energy transmission firms. That means you’ll be have the inside scoop on the state of the steel pipe and tube markets all along the supply chain—from coil to the wellbore.

In addition, we’ll address current import trends, potential trade cases as well as important developments in overseas markets and facilities. The conference will touch on market moves in OCTG, line pipe and structural tubing not just in North America but in India, Asia, the Middle East and Europe as well.

JOIN THE BONUS WORKSHOP:  Steel on the Shale--Opportunities and Challenges

No steel tubulars conference would be complete today without an in-depth look at the shales that are transforming both the energy and metals industries. That’s why we’re hosting a bonus workshop on March 21: Steel on the Shale--Opportunities and Challenges. You won’t want to miss it if you’re already operating on the shales or looking to take advantage of what may be a modern day gold rush.

This workshop won’t rehash the same old talking points about energy independence, jobs and safety. (All good things, we know!) Instead, it will delve into policy on a state-by-state basis and discuss drilling techniques most appropriate for specific shale plays.

Afterward, you’ll have a good sense not just of the geology of specific shale plays but also of the political issues that could impact your business.
