This year, METALCON is offering a new approach to learn all about cold-formed steel framing. Called “Stud U for the Masses,” it is custom designed for architects, builders and contractors, engineers, building inspectors and building trade instructors. It features classroom and hands-on learning and is modeled after the very successful two-and-a-half-day Stud University that was responsible for the construction of several main-attraction structures built at METALCON International in previous years. This year’s show takes place at The Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, in Rosemont, Ill., October 9-11. “We’ve always had a winning combination of classroom and hands-on with Stud U and the time was right to bring it back to METALCON.
We’ve modified the format to make it more accessible to a wider scope of design and construction pros. With this program they can understand more about the value of cold-formed steel framing and experience the simplicity of using it in today’s market. We’re thrilled to have Maribeth, Danny and Nader once again lead the charge on spreading the popularity of this great material,” says Claire Kilcoyne, METALCON Show Director.
