CRU Events:

CRU Events’ core mission is to share knowledge, spark debate and facilitate networking within your community. Our knowledge of the sectors we serve, combined with our trusted market relationships, enables us to deliver valuable programmes, driven by topical themes addressed by the thought leaders in your industry.

We have reinvented our events model to a virtual format, however, the only "virtual" element of the Conference is the venue: it still offers real insight, real networking, and real business opportunities. And at a reduced cost to attend and no travel and accommodation costs - real value.

August 2021 saw us return to in-person events – with SMU Steel Summit held live in Atlanta with some 800+ attendees – plus a further 200+ joining on the virtual platform. As Covid continues to restrict global movements, we will see more of these “hybrid” conferences take place in the coming months, as we start to return to the live world, but continue to cater for those who for various reasons, are unable to travel.
