One major benefit of membership of worldsteel is the opportunity to meet other industry professionals from around the world.
Every October, worldsteel hosts a General Assembly for its members to meet. The Executive Committee and Board meetings are held at the same time in different locations around world. The General Assembly includes a series of presentations, panel and discussion sessions. Members may download the papers from the member-only extranet following the event.
