Metal Construction Association

What actually happens at the MCA Summer Meeting? It’s not just presentations — it’s conversations. Real ones. Across two days, industry professionals come together to share insights, tackle challenges, and collaborate on the future of metal construction. From market trends to technical discussions, every session is designed to move the industry forward. You’ll hear from experts, participate in roundtables, and connect with peers across the supply chain — all in one place. Really. 🗓 June 23–24 | Chicago area Join us: https://lnkd.in/erQhETpx

A building’s performance starts with how it’s protected. Metal systems are designed to withstand environmental exposure while delivering long-term durability and low maintenance — as seen in the Zinc Boathouse project. Material choice plays a critical role in how buildings perform over time. https://lnkd.in/e7_MbMEF 📸 Photo courtesy of MCA member: RHEINZINK #metalconstruction #buildingenvelope #architecture

Design doesn’t happen in a vacuum — meet the teams behind the systems. On May 29, Designing with Metal brings together architects and the manufacturers shaping today’s building envelope solutions. This is your opportunity to connect directly with the experts behind the materials — ask questions, explore applications, and gain insight you can bring into your next project. 👋 Featuring: Sherwin-Williams Coil Coatings Alfrex, Inc. Applied Fabricators, Inc. McElroy Metal ATAS International, Inc. Sheffield Metals International Sheet Metal Supply LTD Join us in Chicago: https://lnkd.in/gEEfUzDV

Sustainability isn’t just about design. It starts with materials. Metal contributes to long-term performance through durability, recyclability, and lifecycle efficiency — making it a strong choice for projects focused on sustainability.

Buildings are exposed to more than just the elements — they’re expected to perform through them. From large-scale arenas to residential applications, metal systems are designed to handle diverse climates and environmental demands.

Modern design can do more than elevate aesthetics. It can also transform communities. At the Esperanza Brighton Park Health Center, metal composite material (MCM) was used to create a bold, angular facade that reflects light and shifts in color, bringing energy and identity to an underserved neighborhood. Designed by JGMA, the project uses over 10,000 square feet of aluminum composite material panels to deliver both visual impact and long-term performance.

Infrastructure is built to last — or it should be. As Infrastructure Week highlights the importance of long-term investment, material choice plays a critical role in how roads, facilities, and systems perform over time. Metal continues to support projects designed for durability, efficiency, and long-term value. #infrastructure #metalconstruction Photo by MCA Member MillerClapperton

Not all roofing systems are built for complexity. Metal is. See how it performs in a real-world remodel: https://lnkd.in/g7fgeahb 📸 Photo courtesy of MCA member: Isaiah Industries #metalroofing #metalconstruction #performance

If you work with metal — this is where the future shows up first. METALCON 2026 isn’t just a trade show — it’s the only global event dedicated exclusively to how metal is used in design and construction across the building envelope. From new products and systems to real-world applications and emerging trends, this is where the industry comes to see what’s next — and how to apply it. Architects, contractors, manufacturers, and suppliers from around the world gather to explore innovations shaping: Roofing Wall systems Building performance Constructability 📍 Orlando, FL 🗓 October 7–9 https://lnkd.in/dPKueB6b #metalconstruction #architecture #buildingdesign #innovation

What does a high-performing building envelope actually look like? It starts with a system that works together. Insulated metal panels combine air, water, thermal, and vapor control into a single solution — helping create a continuous building envelope designed for efficiency and long-term performance. 📸 Photo courtesy of MCA member: NOW Specialties, LLC #metalconstruction #buildingperformance #IMP
