introduces Metal in Action Each year METALCON International introduces new concepts. The latest for the 23rd MET- ALCON is an innovative demonstration arena called Metal in Action. This expanded demo area inside the exhibit hall is interactive and combines the best of the Metal Construction Association's Residential and Commercial Roofi ng Demos, Solar Bay Live and Tool Day. With plenty of seating, tables and bleachers, the Metal in Action arena serves as a touchdown where attendees can learn from these demos in a comfortable setting. "We formed Metal in Action by capturing input
from presenters and attendees and acting on it. This new set up allows all presenters to show more detailed techniques. For the MCA demos, it leaves in place the full-size mock ups of roof applications so attendees can view them up close any time dur- ing show hours," notes METALCON Show Director Claire Kilcoyne. METALCON International is the only annual conference and exposition focused on metal
offers a different keynote presentation each day that focuses on greater detail of specifi c tech- niques used to install solar and metal combina- tions. "We're especially excited about the solar part of the mix because it gives attendees more time to absorb all the details of how and why metal and solar are such a good match," adds Kilcoyne. Solar Bay has been "a hot spot" at METALCON since it was introduced in 2009 and has provided a lively forum for encouraging the installation of solar sys- tems on metal roofs and metal walls. The tools demo in the arena expands the reach
of METALCON's Tool Day from a single day focus to a three-day bonus to learn about and test the latest tools for use with metal. This year tools will be demonstrated and available continuously each show day during exhibit hours.
