The Trade Show floor officially kicked off last night with our attendee-favorite Welcome Reception & Trade Show! A packed show floor, great conversations, and the kind of energy that reminds you why our industry values face-to-face connection.
With new technology demonstrations and hands-on equipment displays to reunions between longtime industry peers and introductions to new members, the Reception brought together every corner of the steel industry under one roof.
Exhibitors and tier level sponsors can secure a spot for our 2027 Conevntion & Trade Show in Concord, North Carolina! Commit by May 22 to lock in 2026 pricing.

From workforce development and leadership best practices to AI, training, and the growing opportunities around Mass Timber installation, yesterday’s education sessions brought together industry leaders for practical conversations focused on the future of steel construction.
One of the strongest parts of our Convention & Trade Show is the willingness of members to share real-world experiences, lessons learned, and strategies others can take back to their own companies.
Thank you to all of our speakers, panelists, and attendees who contributed to the conversations throughout the day.
Stay tuned! There’s more sessions, networking, and trade show activity in store for today in KC.

The 2026 Pickleball Tournament brought the energy (and a few surprisingly serious players) to Chicken N Pickle in Kansas City yesterday.
It was a great way to kick off convention week, bringing members together from across the country. Thanks to everyone who came out, and to our tournament sponsors for helping make the event possible!

A little rain never hurt anybody!
The George R. Pocock Memorial Golf Tournament is underway in Kansas City with umbrellas up, clubs in hand, and a group that knows how to roll with it.
This tournament is a great reminder of the people and traditions that continue to bring this group together year after year. Thank you to everyone who came out and made it a good one!
