2023 Agenda
Tampa Steel Conference
Steel Market Update will once again be working with Port Tampa Bay as we host the 34th edition of the Tampa Steel Conference. The 2023 TSC will be held on February 5-7 at the Marriott Water Street Hotel in Tampa, Florida.
This conference is the second largest steel conference of its type in North America (second only to the SMU Steel Summit Conference) with an expected attendance of 300-500 executives from the steel, port, trading, and shipping communities.
We have expanded the program while maintaining the charm and networking opportunities which have long been associated with the conference.
The program will be the strongest and most comprehensive ever for the Tampa Steel Conference. Here are some of what you can expect while attending the Tampa Steel Conference. We will have a strong focus on the economy, steel trade, domestic and foreign steel prices, and what the "new normal" will look like for steel priceduring 2023. We have an excellent program with Timna Tanners of Wolfe Research, Josh Spoores of CRU, and many more.
