METALCON takes place Oct. 7–9, 2026, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, with pre-show workshops beginning Tuesday, Oct. 6. Celebrating its 35th anniversary, METALCON brings the entire metal construction ecosystem together in one place—from contractors, installers and fabricators to manufacturers, architects, engineers, specifiers, designers, suppliers, owners and developers. It is the industry’s annual business and education summit, bringing the metal construction community together to understand the forces shaping the market and see what is next.
The 2026 program combines hands-on training, market intelligence, technical education, design programming, workforce development, immersive exhibit-floor experiences and networking across more than 40 categories of metal construction, addressing issues ranging from evolving building codes and workforce challenges to changing technology and increasing performance demands.

Since 1991, METALCON has held its position as the only annual event dedicated exclusively to the application of metal in design and construction.
Industry experts from more than 250 leading companies exhibit the latest products, solutions and game-changing technologies while sharing their knowledge with attendees, and industry specialists present key topics in the show's highly rated education program. METALCON brings together decision-makers from across the entire metal construction ecosystem to discover solutions, exchange technical knowledge, form partnerships and make business decisions.
METALCON is produced by PSMJ Resources, Inc., the leading authority on the effective management of architecture, engineering and construction firms, and sponsored by the Metal Construction Association, an organization of manufacturers and suppliers. In addition, 100 associations and publications from across the industry support METALCON through ongoing promotional and educational efforts. This is the event’s first time in Orlando.
