Annual Meeting — August 2021
 The AIST Globe-Trotters Member Chapter held its annual meeting in Fernandina Beach, Fla., USA, on 28–31 August 2021 at the Omni Amelia Island Resort. The 2020 annual meeting was postponed due to the  COVID-19 pandemic, and this was the first time the Globe-Trotters Member Chapter gathered since September 2019.
The meeting attracted 175 attendees and was sponsored by The Systems Group and SundBirsta Inc.
The event kicked off Saturday evening with a welcome reception, providing attendees the opportunity to network prior to the start of the program.
Holding true to its roots, the chapter officers facilitated producers-only roundtable discussions on Sunday morning for meltshop and rolling mill personnel. The roundtables generated hours of discussion and producers said this was the most valuable part of the meeting. The main topics of both discussions were safety, new technology and how the pandemic is reshaping the steel industry. Other topics covered were automation — no teammate on the floor, attracting and retaining talent, and mobile equipment. Suppliers were invited to join the roundtables in the afternoon, providing them an open forum to discuss new innovative products as well as answer questions and offer solutions to the producers.
Technical presentations began on Monday morning for both the meltshop and rolling mill tracks. Topics included New Plant Start-Ups, Mill Drive and Automation Replacement, and New Methods to Set Electrodes. All attendees came together for two joint presentations at the end of the day. Matt Driscoll, head men’s basketball coach of the University of North Florida, gave a high-energy presentation titled “Embrace Where Your Feet Are Planted.” The presentations concluded with Chris Kuehl from Armada Corporate Intelligence, who provided an update on the regional and global economic trends in the steel industry.
