Final Thoughts

August 6, 2026
Joining us in Atlanta? Here's how to prepare before you arrive.
Written by Stephanie Ritenbaugh
With Aluminum Market Update’s first conference just weeks away, we want to take a moment to let you know about a tool to make your time at the event more streamlined.
Taking place Aug. 24–26 in Atlanta, Georgia, the event will run alongside the SMU Steel Summit, hosted by our ferrous sister publication, Steel Market Update.
Now, the web version and the mobile app for the event are live for paid attendees. Both platforms allow attendees to:
- Personalize your schedule through My Agenda.
- Network more easily. Search for attendees, message and arrange meetings with fellow professionals from both the SMU Steel Summit and AMU Aluminum Summit via the Attendees tab.
- Let people know more about you and your networking preferences through Your Profile.
Search for “SMU Steel Summit 2026” in your app store, or click this link on your phone to download the app.
If you’ve signed up already, we look forward to seeing you in August. And if you haven’t registered yet, don’t miss out on a packed agenda and exclusive interviews. During a time of unprecedented changes in the aluminum market, it’s critical to stay informed on the latest trends in prices, trade issues, supply chains, end markets, and more. You can find out more information here.
Remember, one ticket gives you access to both conferences. That’s two events for the price of one!
We look forward to seeing you there.
