Former U.S. Trade Rep Robert Lighthizer To Headline MSCI Steel Conference

The Metals Service Center Institute’s (MSCI) 2025 Steel Conference is less than six weeks away, and the attendee list is growing by the day. If you have not already signed up, registration is available here. You can see which of your industry colleagues are already registered at this link.

MSCI also excited to announce an addition to the agenda: former U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer. Lighthizer was the United States’ top trade negotiator during President Donald Trump’s first term. He will discuss what to expect now that Trump is back in office. Trust us: you will not want to miss this exclusive discussion.

Another thing to remember: this year, MSCI and the Steel Manufacturers Association will hold their annual meetings during this conference as well, so join us March 3-5, 2025 in Frisco, Texas so you can participate in our yearly gathering of the membership.
