Learning opportunities at METALCON 2016<\/a> offer an extraordinary look at the future while presenting ideas to improve today\u2019s safety, productivity, communication and the finished project. <\/p>\n

As part of this year\u2019s show from Oct. 26-28 at the Baltimore Convention Center, METALCON is offering two unique general sessions featuring 3-D technology. On Oct. 26, Roderick Jackson from Oak Ridge National Laboratories<\/a> demonstrates how a natural gas-powered hybrid vehicle and a solar-powered house are linked to create an integrated energy system \u2015both built using large-scale 3-D printers. On Oct. 27, architect and innovator Adam Kushner takes this type of 3-D additive manufacturing to another step demonstrating how it\u2019s used in building projects and why it could soon become mainstream.<\/p>\n

METALCON Show Director Claire Kilcoyne is thrilled to have these speakers on board. \u201cWe\u2019ve heard about combining new technologies but now see that it\u2019s real,\u201d says Kilcoyne. \u201cCompanies in our industry have always been on the leading edge and with this technology, can evaluate other high-tech applications.\u201d <\/p>\n

The 45-minute sessions following the general sessions demonstrate existing applications of this technology, along with ideas for better management, marketing, products and techniques to improve metal buildings.<\/p>\n

Advances in drones and associated benefits for safety and accuracy on construction projects are covered by Mark Sapp, Chief Technology Officer of HoverStat Technologies<\/a> in \u201cSafety Above All, Thanks to Drones.\u201d Tom Dyskiewicz of Crossing Partners LLC and Chris Hewson, national account manager for iRoofing<\/a>, discuss the future direction of roof technology and its impact on metal roofing businesses in \u201cRoofing Technology for Today and Tomorrow.\u201d Ray Smith of AppliCad USA Inc<\/a>, also takes on roofing technology with a session focused on the importance of planning before installing or upgrading software. Technology and its value in marketing and sales lead conversion are explained by Lance Bachmann of 1SEO.com Digital Agency<\/a> in \u201cUsing Digital Marketing to Build Your Future in the Metal Industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to a focus on technology this year, business success is covered in several sessions including \u201cGrab the Future and Lead\u201d with Frank Stasiowski, of PSMJ Resources, Inc.<\/a> In this fast-paced session, participants learn how to move a business forward using realistic strategies. Dave Berry, a consultant with FMI, offers \u201cEmerging Trends for Contractor Success,\u201d and details what makes a company successful and how to build a business fit for future challenges. <\/p>\n

Training and development are among critical business topics covered. Steve Yates of Optimum Safety Management<\/a> leads participants in how to develop a workable safety program in \u201cBuilding a Safety Culture That Lasts.\u201d Peter Gudmundsson of RecruitMilitary<\/a> explains the facts and best practices for accessing the amazing resources of U.S. veterans in \u201cUnderstanding the Real Veteran Hiring Opportunity.\u201d <\/p>\n

Metal construction experts discuss best practices and attributes of metal roofs, windows, wall panels and building inspections. Rob Haddock, Metal Advisory Group, deals with the reality of \u201cThe Roof: The Greatest Asset (or pain-in-the asset) to the Building.\u201d Bob Zabcik of NCI<\/a> talks about \u201cChoosing Wall Panels for Sustainability and Energy Efficiency,\u201d and Adam Verstraete of Wintech<\/a> and Rick Kincy of Dominion Building Products<\/a> offer new insight on a common building aspect in \u201cWindow Options for Metal Buildings Are Changing.\u201d The big picture for all metal building projects is presented in \u201cMetal Building Inspection \u2013 Don\u2019t Get Caught Off Guard,\u201d an interactive session with an expert panel led by Dustin Cole of Ruffin Building Systems<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Two programs kick-off before METALCON opens. The first is a unique offsite tour on Oct. 25, at Intertek Building & Construction\u2019s testing laboratory in York, Penn. This is a once-a-year chance to see product testing firsthand and learn more about testing and certification. The second is the Metal Roof Certification Training Program, which runs on October 25 and 26. Participants in this 8-hour session will have practical, hands-on training based on the Metal Construction Association\u2019s Metal Roof Installation Manual, and become certified in proper methods of metal roof installation.
