Celebrate Two Decades Of Success At METALCON 2010
By Claire Kilcoyne, METALCON Show Director
Consider this your e-vite to METALCON International, the nation’s single event for delivering education and innovation to the design and construction industry.
You’re reading this via technology that began to flourish in 1991 when METALCON opened the door to new markets for metal construction products. Since then, technology advances in the metal industry have changed coatings, insulation, estimating, design, materials, production, marketing, codes and more – including the way you register for METALCON.
However, technology is just a tool. It can’t replace the expertise and idea generation that occurs front and center, real time, face-to-face at METALCON. It’s where you’ll find the movers and shakers who create the products and the advancements that have expanded this industry and this event for the last 20 years. METALCON is the only event where you can access all of these respected experts and connect with your peers from all over the world.
If you’ve never been to METALCON, this is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in a world of the newest metal industry products and technology housed in 800 exhibit booths. Stop by the New Product Harbor, Green Island and Solar Bay. These show highlight areas are filled with companies dedicated to emerging green technology, solar advancements and recent product innovations – and ways to help your business grow.
There’s more live action in the Metal Construction Association’s daily demonstrations for roof and wall applications, including the latest tools for cutting and fastening… that you’ll also be able to test for yourself. This year the demos have a new format and will be open and ongoing during show hours.
Knowledge is power and true to its cutting edge reputation, over 50 percent of the METALCON seminar topics are new. Combine what you’ll learn from the experts leading these classroom sessions with expertise from over 300 exhibiting companies, and you’ll have the tools to boost your business…guaranteed!
