The show runs October 7 through 9 in Orlando, FL, and typically attracts between 2,000 and 5,000 attendees. The programming leans toward training and certification, making it more of a working conference than a networking-first event. Sessions cover installation techniques, code compliance, and product application, so attendees tend to come with specific learning goals rather than just browsing the floor. For roofing contractors, project managers, and field crews looking to build or maintain credentials, METALCON offers structured coursework alongside manufacturer exhibits. It's a mid-size show, so the pace is manageable and the access to instructors and vendors is fairly direct. This one suits operators who want to send crew or estimators for hands-on technical education.
