Fastmarkets Circular Steel Summit 2026

Houston hosts the leading North American meeting point for the steel and scrap supply chain

More than 350 senior decision makers from mills, recyclers, traders, OEMs, policymakers and investors will meet in Houston for the Circular Steel Summit. The programme focuses on tariffs, cross border trade, scrap availability, and demand signals across autos, construction and energy. With electric arc furnace capacity expanding, prime scrap supply, grade requirements and financing models sit at the centre of every conversation.

This is where procurement leaders, policy voices and market analysts come together to align on the decisions that shape the first quarter and beyond.

Evening Receptions in Houston

From the welcoming drinks on day one to the main networking reception, both evenings are designed for practical conversations. Connect with buyers, suppliers, and customers from across North America in a relaxed setting.

Roundtable Drinks Discussion

Join mills, recyclers, traders, and logistics partners for an open discussion over drinks. Compare approaches to inventory management, freight costs, and scrap quality, and identify where coordination can reduce waste and improve margins.

Every break gives you time to talk with peers about forecasts, feedstock needs, and contract models. Expect the same quality of discussion in the hallways as in the sessions.
