Organized by siderweb – The steel community, the event offers opportunities for business and reflection, relationships and knowledge. In fact, it is, at the same time, an exhibition showcase and a cultural pole which, through conferences, forums and round tables, aims to encourage competitive collaboration and the exchange of information.
Title of the tenth edition “GENERATIONS, re-imagining our world”. And it is precisely the changes that the global steel industry is implementing that will be discussed in the conferences in the siderweb Conference Room, the core of the three days, which will be attended by over 25 speakers, analysts and decision makers of the supply chain, from Italy and Europe.
Francesca Morandi, content manager of siderweb: “A title that contains many souls and themes. From internationalization to the new generations, from diversity to innovation, from sustainability to a new story that concerns us all. As many souls as there are challenges and opportunities that the supply chain will face in the coming years”.
Furthermore, on Wednesday 10 May, the siderweb Conference Room will host the annual general meeting of Federacciai.
