METALCON 2026: examining metal building systems beyond the surface finish
The Orlando event focuses on the products, installation knowledge and supplier relationships behind metal construction.
October 7–9, 2026 · Orlando, FL · PSMJ Resources and Metal Construction Association
METALCON is scheduled for October 7–9, 2026 in Hall South A of the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. It is produced in partnership with PSMJ Resources and the Metal Construction Association.
Compare the complete building system
The event brings together the metal-construction and design community. For materials-focused readers, the useful comparison extends from the panel or component to its connections, supporting details and installation requirements.
Ask suppliers to explain the intended application and the documentation needed to evaluate a system. An attractive sample is only one part of a building-product decision.
Bring the installation questions
Prepare a description of the project type and the conditions the system must address. Ask about handling, compatible components, maintenance and the support available to the installation team.
Use demonstrations and education to identify where more project-specific advice or testing is needed. A show-floor conversation should support a later technical review rather than replace it.
Plan the Orlando visit
The organizer lists show-floor hours of 10 a.m.–5 p.m. on October 7–8 and 9 a.m.–1 p.m. on October 9. Confirm education and keynote times separately through the live schedule.
Use the 2026 directory for current suppliers and session participants. Keep earlier award winners and historical attendance figures separate from the forthcoming edition’s announcements.
