With the volatile Stainless market, you can't afford to miss the compelling and informative presentations that will be given by experts we've gathered from all ends of the market. One of the topics we'll be featuring is the cost of doing business in today's changing markets. Whether you are buying, selling, or producing in the Stainless and Alloys market, you'll want to hear the panel discussions about current escalation of freight and energy costs because these issues effect your bottom line no matter where you fall in the supply chain.

But please hurry, register by April 1 to save $100 off the cost of registration.
