Are you an emerging leader at a metals mill or service center?

Then act fast because the next cohort of MSCI’s Strategic Metals Management (SMM) starts Jan. 25 2027, and space is filling fast.

WHY ATTEND SMM?
Because no other industrial metals-focused executive education course offers the type of access and education that SMM offers. SMM participants get the chance to learn from other leaders from across the industrial metals supply chain. In business, who you know may be as important as what you know. SMM will give you an exclusive opportunity to build relationships with fellow senior executives from mills and service centers.

In addition to building cross-industry relationships, SMM’s five modules address complex, cross-functional issues identified as the most compelling challenges and opportunities in today’s industrial metals environment. SMM gives you the knowledge you need to lead.

Everyone is talking about artificial intelligence, but what does it actually mean for the metals industry?
