Where will you be on SteelDay this year? Whether you visit a structural steel facility, tour a job site or attend a seminar, join the structural steel industry’s largest educational and networking event as it returns for a fifth successive year on October 4, 2013. Hosted by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), its members and partners, SteelDay is your opportunity to see first-hand how the structural steel industry contributes to building America. To learn more and sign up for this year’s events, visit www.SteelDay.org.
In addition to connecting with local structural steel representatives at various facilities across the U.S., this year’s SteelDay will feature live webinars and special events in major metropolitan areas including New York City, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and others.
The Innovation Conference explores new trends in design, fabrication and construction for the architectural community, and AISC invites you to be the guest of the structural steel industry at this conference. The first 10 registrations for this event on the SteelDay website at www.SteelDay.org/innovationconf will receive a complimentary registration for the conference. Subsequent registrants will receive a $200 discount off of the $545 conference fee.
In Chicago, AISC invites you to a full day of free events on SteelDay which includes breakfast and a morning shop drawing seminar (from 7:30 a.m. to noon) titled “Shop Model Review and Approval,” as well as an afternoon tour (from noon to 3 p.m.) of the city’s new Northwestern Outpatient Care Pavilion project. You’ll learn how BIM was used for clash detection and explore other unique aspects of the project including the 90-ft span steel pedestrian bridge currently under construction and the challenging canopy which uses AESS. You’ll also receive a free lunch and a brief presentation by members of the project team. You can choose to attend either event or both, however, space is limited. For details on each session and to register, go to www.SteelDay.org/BIMChicago.
