Dear Friends and my colleagues of steel,
We take immense pleasure to invite you to Global Steel 2010. Buoyed by your brilliant support and enthusiastic feedback received in the past, we are organising Global Steel 2010, the fifth in the series, in the pristine environment of Goa. As we look back today, we recognize and thank all of you who had held our hands when we first set out for this journey and started Global Steel in 2004. It was the successful incorporation of your suggestions that have helped us pick up the threads each year from where we left last time and move forward.
From Kolkata in eastern India in 2007, lovingly called the Sheffield of India, and the workshop of Sir Jamshedji Tata and Sir Biren Mukherjee, the venue for Global Steel has now moved to Goa, the iron ore export port of western India. Global Steel 2010 will be held at Intercontinental The Lalit Goa Resort on 11th to 13th February 2010. As in the past years, the idea behind is simple – to bring together the exponents and fellow men of steel and steel making raw materials, assimilate the scattered knowledge bases and the dispersed skill sets together and disseminate them in a structured manner for some meaningful insight and postulate ways forward for our industry.
This year we have the added delight of The Economic Times jointly presenting Global Steel 2010 with Gujarat NRE. The Economic Times brings to the table their extensive knowledge of the economy and of course of the sector, not to mention their expertise in networking and as well providing the extra leverage of wider coverage and greater reach through print and electronic media.
We are glad that we have achieved an exceptional platform for the various industries to share their thoughts; the best practices, analyze trends and make future strides. The scope to network, expand business horizons, as well as enrich our grey cells, in the relaxed environs of a stunning tropical beach is a welcome change from the daily grind. Global Steel has been able to achieve all of the above and is creating a niche for itself towards attracting the best minds and scattered skill sets from around the world to work towards a common goal – making steel sinews for the Nation.
Today as we write to you, the global crises is showing increased signs of recovery and the hope of long cherished dreams to bear fruit are once again rekindling, the industrial growth curves are starting to move up and the future seems again to be laden with promises. It is the time for core industries to gear up for the next level of growth, to take the economy to further heights. It is at this juncture that we bring to you, Global Steel 2010 – Time to Steel Ahead - Anatomy of an Economy riding the Growth Trajectory.
If you are a man / woman of steel, or steel influences your business in any way, do make it a point to attend Global Steel 2010 at Goa. The fifth year with cleverly chosen subjects after some thoughtful deliberations, to cover topics aimed to flow from conveyor belts to the blast furnace, through the assembly lines, to the markets to an equally receptive audience. Along with the serious discussions, we have designed entertainments in a manner befitting the intensity of the deliberations, during the networking cocktail dinners, as well as a panorama of a photo exhibition on steel to sooth your eyes.
Looking forward to having you with us – and together build an economy with muscles of iron and nerves of steel.
With best regards, |
