Welcome to AMU's inaugural conference
Written by Stephanie Ritenbaugh
During a time of trade uncertainty, supply disruption, and shifting demand, now is a critical time to understand the latest on what is happening in aluminum and what might lie ahead.
And Aluminum Market Update is excited to share that we will host our inaugural Aluminum Summit in August to discuss those topics and more!
Taking place August 24–26 in Atlanta, the event will run side by side with SMU Steel Summit, hosted by our ferrous sister publication, Steel Market Update.
And that means one ticket will get you access to both conferences. Two for one! In this economy!
The aluminum agenda is taking shape. You can take a look here.
Highlights from the agenda include:
- Aluminum scrap and secondary trends with Doug Hilderhoff of Hydro Extrusion North America and Matt Bell of OmniSource
- Trade, tariffs and geopolitics with Jean Simard of the Aluminum Association of Canada
- Impact of data centers and grid buildout on aluminum by John Mucci of Kibar Americas
- Keynote by Joe Quinn of Securing America’s Future Energy
- Economic outlook with Dr. Anirban Basu, Chairman and CEO Sage Policy Group, Inc
This new event is shaping up to be a key one for pure-play aluminum companies as well as for service centers and scrap recyclers involved in both ferrous and nonferrous markets. Wherever you are in the supply chain, you’ll get important market analysis, insight on trends, and great opportunities for networking.
And for those who work across a range of end markets – whether automotive, construction, appliances, or packaging – this is an excellent opportunity to gain broader market insight and take advantage of key networking opportunities, all in one trip.

We look forward to seeing you there!
