AIST Women in Steel Conference

About the Event

This annual event supports the recruitment, engagement and professional development of women in the global steel industry. Over two-and-a-half days, the event will feature breakout sessions, panel discussions, keynote speakers, and plenty of networking opportunities to enhance attendee personal and professional growth. We are expecting an audience of more than 500 steel professionals, from operators to human resource personnel, representing individuals at various stages of their careers, to participate in this event. ALL are encouraged to attend this unique and inclusive seminar.

Who Should Attend

Both women and men who recognize that an equitable workplace is a successful workplace; who want to work together to bridge the gender gap; who believe that a career in steel is rewarding; who recognize that unconscious bias has an effect on the workforce; and who understand the importance of female leadership and allyship in the workplace.

Bring Your Own Young Professional (BYOYP) Program

AIST recently launched the Bring Your Own Young Professional (BYOYP) program to encourage our members to help boost the next generation’s involvement in AIST and the steel industry. If you are an AIST member and are bringing a Young Professional (age 30 and under) to the conference, you can receive a free gift. All you have to do is enter their contact information on the registration form when you sign up for the conference. Please be advised that the Young Professional will still need to register and pay for their own registration. Find out more information about the program here.
