This year, professionals from 39 countries will visit Sweden for this valuable and entertaining event that celebrates innovation, creativity and the future of high strength steel.

On Wednesday, over 400 participants will take part in Experience Day at the SSAB mill in Oxölesund. They will attend seminars, meet specialists from SSAB and view the entire production line from raw materials to rolled plate.

On Thursday, over 600 participants will attend the Inspiration Seminars at Stockholm’s beautiful Münchenbryggeriet. They will hear motivational lectures by some of the world’s most renowned speakers and learn about new steel innovation.
