Back in Düsseldorf

The leading event for steel trading in Europe.

EUROMETAL returns to Düsseldorf for the 2026 Steel Trade Day, bringing together Europe's steel traders, distributors, stockholders, service centres and industry experts.

An evening to meet over drinks and dinner, then a full conference day on what is reshaping the market: the economic outlook, safeguards and CBAM, AI in sales and coil processing, digital trading and industrial data, and where Europe can still compete. Two panels bring market players together on rebuilding EU steel demand and on how steel trading adapts to new realities.
