The Steel Conference connects steel industry professionals and peers over actionable, game-changing innovations you can put into practice right away. In 2025 we feature more than 270 technical sessions (in-person participants could earn up to 16 PDHs, with an additional 4 PDHs available for those who attend a short course on Tuesday); a giant exhibition hall showcasing over 300 products and services that can help you design and build better with steel; and the opportunity to network with more than 6,000 colleagues, including leading designers, top fabricators, and prestigious researchers at the cutting edge of today’s innovation.

Last year’s event also incorporates the World Steel Bridge Symposium, QualityCon, the NISD Detailing Conference, SafetyCon, Architecture in Steel, and SSRC’s Annual Stability Conference.
