MSCI Has Created A New FREE Group For Future Metals Leaders

Every industry faces a workforce shortage and the industrial metals sector certainly is not immune. MSCI is helping to build the next generation of leaders with its new initiative, Forge Ahead, which will connect and foster the development of up-and-coming industrial metals professionals.

Join MSCI in Chicago for its inaugural two-day Forge Ahead event May 20-21, 2022. This event is complimentary. MSCI is grateful to Kloeckner Metals, Nucor, Olympic Steel, Reliance Steel and Aluminum Co., Ryerson, Steel Warehouse, and Zekelman Industries for sponsoring this event and ensuring that MSCI can offer it free to employees of MSCI member companies.

Regardless of title, functional responsibilities, physical location or time in the metals industry, Forge Ahead is for all Gen Z and Millennials. Participants will start out Friday night with a networking event at Flight Club Chicago.

On Saturday morning, MSCI will host a brunch near Wrigley Field where participants will discuss how can they bring the industry into the future and create a more diverse workforce. They also will hear from current industry leaders about how they forged a successful career in the metals sector.

The event will wrap up at one of Chicago’s most iconic venues, Wrigley Field, where the Chicago Cubs will take on the Arizona Diamondbacks. Learn more and register here.
