The 2026 Digital Transformation Forum for the Steel Industry is a leading platform for steel producers, technology experts and innovators to engage in the ongoing evolution of digitalization across the steel industry. Building on the momentum of previous forums, the program shifts focus to the practical realities of artificial intelligence (AI): how it’s being used today in the steel industry, and what’s truly required to make it deliver value.

The 2026 program will center on generative AI as a transformative technology, with a focus on how it’s being applied to plant challenges like safety, predictive maintenance and process innovation. The forum will explore the conditions needed for success — from data readiness and quality to effective integration strategies — through case studies, panel discussions, and technical papers. The program will give attendees a candid and collaborative look at how generative AI is reshaping steel — across operations, supervision and process automation.

This forum is designed for decision-makers, technical leaders, and digital transformation experts seeking actionable insights into launching, scaling, and sustaining digital transformation initiatives within their organizations.
