ROOFING CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
Last year, METALCON proudly launched its new MCA Metal Roof Installation Training Certification Program in Baltimore.  Fifty international participants learned key topics related to metal roof installation and earned MCA’s Metal Roofing Certificate of Completion. Scott Kriner, MCA’s technical director and program presenter, is looking forward to refining and improving the program for METALCON 2017.  Kriner explains the benefits of the training, “Many metal roof manufacturers have their own in-house training programs but with this new Metal Roof Installation Training, manufacturers have access to a pool of qualified individuals trained in key topics related to metal roof installation.  Their installers and contractors will be prepared to hit the ground running with the knowledge gained through the certification program.”  READ the full story featured in the March issue of Metal Construction News.  

ENHANCED CONFERENCE PROGRAM
The “Why Metal” track will feature two key industry contributors including Chuck Howard, President of Metal Roof Consultants, and Jonathon Rider with D.I. Roof Seamers and recipient of last year’s Mover and Shaker Triumph Award.  Chuck will provide his 44-year perspective to the “why” as it applies to metal roofs in the industrial, commercial, government and educational markets.  Seminar participants will receive a look at what should be done in the future to grow and expand this market in a sustainable way and understand the “why” that makes this market one that can be expected to yield positive results for anyone.  Jonathon will present “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Mechanically Seamed Roof Panels.”  Whether you are new to the industry or a veteran, this seminar will bring it “back to the basics” and use real-life scenarios to arm you with new strategies and techniques to defend varying appearances in mechanically seamed roof panels.  Invest in a one or two day conference pass and maximize your tradeshow experience by gaining first hand knowledge that you can apply to the workplace.  Register TODAY.

VEGAS INSIDER 

While in town for METALCON, take a step back in time and experience “retro or vintage” Vegas!” Travel back to the days of the neon signs, the Mob, and when the sounds of the “Rat Pack” oozed from the Strip.  Neon signs may be a thing of the past, but they are alive and well at the Neon Boneyard where you can take one of their daily tours. Boutiques with “retro Vegas” antiques and relics, old-school dining at classic steak houses, a walk down Fremont Street, and spectacular shows at Bally’s are all ways to experience vintage Vegas. For a look back at the Mob, visit the new Las Vegas Mob Museum and continue the walk down memory lane at the Peppermill Fireside Lounge, where your thirst for a cocktail and history can both be met.  And then soak in the sounds with Sandy Hackett’s Rat Pack Show and see Frank, Sammy, Joey and Dean come alive.   Click HERE for more travel tips.
