More than 10,000 people attended about 175 free events across the U.S. on September 28 for the fourth annual SteelDay. Hosted by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), its members and partners, SteelDay is the structural steel industry’s largest networking and educational event for the design and construction community and the public. Architects, engineers, contractors, specifiers, university faculty and students and the general public visited steel mills, fabricators, service centers, galvanizers, and other steel facilities to see the industry’s processes and innovations firsthand and learn directly from industry experts.
Steel facilities throughout the country opened their doors for tours, demonstrations, presentations and other celebratory activities. Some events also took place on actual jobsites where attendees had the opportunity to see how design becomes project reality
