Moving Metals Conference

LOGISTIC TRENDS AND ISSUES OF MOVING METAL VIA RAIL, ROAD & WATER

December 3 - 4, 2007

Omni Hotel, CNN Center, Atlanta, GA

A taxing line item against any company’s profits is transportation and logistic costs. Unlike any other market, in metals, the issue is two-fold in that many of the vehicles and containers that are moving the metal are also made of metal. Thus, transportation industry fluctuations can create a unique opportunity and threat to the metals market impacting both profit and cost centers.

The 2nd annual Moving Metals Conference will examine the rail, barge, truck and ocean liner markets and comment on the metals industry’s unique logistic scenario. Industry experts will discuss trends and forecast the future of moving metals via rail, road and water in order to help your company in the hunt for greater efficiency and profitability.

The 2007 agenda will cover the most topical questions and key issues in the industry, including:

• Fuel costs

• Exploring how the cost of metal pricing impacts the logistic industry

• Material and employee shortages in the transportation industry

• Shortage solutions through retention programs

• Capacity issues on the roadway, railways and ports

• What can metals companies do to secure more trucks at better prices?

• Outlook for freight rates in shifting international steel flows

• Capital trends in transportation

The event will feature an unrivalled speaker panel, including:
