On behalf of the Institute of Roll Design, welcome to our upcoming event. We are pleased to bring together our members and industry colleagues for several days of learning, discussion, and networking.
​
Thank you to our IRD members, committees, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters whose continued involvement helps keep this organization strong. Your contributions and participation are what make IRD a valuable resource for the roll design and steel industry community.
​
The purpose of these events is simple: to share practical knowledge, experiences, and ideas that help move our industry forward. The presentations and discussions throughout the program reflect the values that unite us, including safety, sound engineering, innovation, continuous improvement, and collaboration.
​
We challenge you to engage fully in the sessions, connect with fellow attendees, and consider ways to remain involved with IRD. Whether through participation, presenting technical work, serving on a committee, or volunteering, your involvement strengthens our organization and benefits the industry as a whole.
​
Thank you for being part of IRD. We look forward to a productive, informative, and enjoyable event.
