Why do most safety systems stall? Get the answer at MSCI’s 2026 Safety Summit, set for Sept. 9-10 just outside of Chicago.

Bonus: you can take $200 off your fee by registering before Aug. 7.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND MSCI’S SAFETY SUMMIT?
CEOs, company leaders, safety teams, operations, and managers. The summit will provide insight and information that are relevant for multiple members of your team.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
Safety leadership is at an inflection point. Despite more data, tools, and visibility than ever, many organizations still struggle with one critical gap which is consistent decision-making and clear accountability.

In our session on why safety systems fail, you will learn:
- How winning organizations govern safety decisions through strategy, structure, and accountability, not programs alone.
- The critical difference between managing safety activity and running safety through an operating model.
- How high-performing leaders create culture by defining what “winning” looks like and aligning the organization around it.
- How judgment, governance, and technology work together to simplify complexity and drive reliable performance.

Hundreds of top leaders in the metals industry have one thing in common: they have all attended MSCI’s Strategic Metals Management (SMM).

See yourself as a future leader? Grab your seat for January 25, 2027.

WHAT IS SMM?
SMM gives students an exclusive opportunity to build relationships with fellow senior executives from mills and service centers. Here and only here, students learn about both sides of the business from each other’s perspective. And they get a head start on making lifetime connections with the people they will directly do business with in the future, offering immeasurable business value.

This program is taught by top professors from the Olin Business School — one of the best executive education resources in the world. The curriculum incorporates examples and case studies that are metals-industry specific, and instructors share in-depth industry insights through presentations, panel discussions, and other coursework.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND SMM?
Executives and other emerging leaders in your company.

WHY ATTEND SMM?
To gain the knowledge, and the connections, that you need to help grow and lead your company.

Your company is a safety leader. Shouldn’t you be recognized for it?

Safety starts with the culture of an organization and is an ongoing journey that never ends. It takes perseverance, employee buy-in from the top down and bottom up, as well as continuous improvement from the entire organization to ensure that every metals industry employee arrives home from work exactly as they left.

The MSCI Safety Innovation and Culture Improvement Award will recognize metals organizations that seek new and innovative approaches in their efforts to drive safety improvement towards a zero-harm environment.
