We appreciate your interest in presenting at METALCON 2024, a world-class event devoted exclusively to the use of metal in design and construction.

We are seeking dynamic presenters who can educate, engage, inspire and present material in ways that will enhance the METALCON experience.

We encourage presentations that employ a variety of delivery formats such as case-studies, panel discussion, product compare and contrast, point-counterpoint, small group discussions/roundtables, hands-on learning, and tips, tricks and hacks.

Educational Sessions take place in Learning Centers and the Main Theater located inside the Exhibit Hall and are included with registration. These sessions must be 60 minutes in length (including Q&A) and target real-world, metal-related challenges and opportunities of:

General and Sub-contractors in Commercial, Residential and/or Industrial, or Institutional Construction
Designers, Specifiers, Architects
Engineers
CEO’s, General Manager’s, Owners, Presidents, Principals
Sales and Marketing Leaders
Project Managers
Facilities Managers
Foreman/Crew Leaders
Installers/Technicians
Human Resources/Workforce Development Personnel

In-depth paid workshops are 4 - 8 hours in length and require an additional registration fee. They take place in meeting rooms, not in the Exhibit Hall. The number of workshop offered are limited and should provide a certification, in-depth foundational training, and/or specialty content. Please indicate if your submission qualifies to be a paid workshop.
