With less than two months until METALCON 2016, now is the time to register if you plan to attend. 

 

Making its return to the Mid-Atlantic region, this year is not to be missed!  In addition to a full exhibit floor, jam-packed conference agenda, check out this year’s show highlights:

As part of its focus on technology this year, METALCON is featuring ORNL’s Additive Manufacturing Integrated Energy (AMIE) project.  AMIE demonstrates rapid innovation through additive manufacturing, or 3-D printing, addressing electricity supply and reliability challenges via an integrated approach to power generation, storage and consumption.

The metal construction industry is advancing and we're going to celebrate those who are making things happen in the industry! We want to acknowledge and celebrate those whose accomplishments demonstrate outstanding commitment to advancing the metal construction and building industries. See here!

 

This year, there will be five challenges each day under the appropriately named theme; “Battle Stars Over Baltimore” in recognition of our Star Spangled Banner birthplace. Construction professionals from the audience compete each day of the show for cash prizes in a number of different challenges. More info here!

 

Top experts in the metal roofing industry will lead this two-day, eight-hour certification program based on MCA’s recently published Metal Roof Installation Manual. The objective is to couple the training program with the opportunity to visit the exhibit floor where participants can see live demonstrations of what they have just learned, while networking with industry experts.

Last year, METALCON raised $10,000 at its 25th anniversary celebration in Tampa to provide intensive rehabilitative care to service members treated at the Tampa Polytrauma Rehabilitation Center. This year, METALCON’s giving back program continues to benefit the America’s Fund and will raise money for military veterans in need of adaptive home support services throughout the Baltimore area.
