From 4th to 6th May 2026, Pittsburgh, USA
Steel's #1 Technology Conference & Exposition
Make your plans now to join us at AISTech 2026, the industry's premier event bringing together the people, technology and ideas that power the steel economy.
Returning to Pittsburgh, for the first time in four years — a host location that always yields promise for the steel industry’s largest annual conference and exposition. The Iron & Steel Exposition is already sold out, promising a dynamic exposition floor packed with 600+ steel companies on two floors.
Add in 500+ technical presentations covering the steelmaking process from start to finish, and you have an award-winning recipe for the industry's can't-miss event in 2026. See you in Pittsburgh this May!
