USW Conferences and Meetings

The United Steelworkers (USW) Purchasing and Travel Department arranges over 200 meetings and numerous conventions each year, ranging from ten participants to 1500 participants.  The USW Headquarters offers multiple meeting rooms but at times it is necessary to arrange outside of provided space.  The department staff handles everything from hotel contract negotiations, food and beverage needs, audio visual requirements, budgeting of costs and on-site setup, teardown and overall management of the event as needed.  Everything is handled with cost in mind.
