Connect, learn and lead with MCA

By Emma Peterson.

Start your summer off right with the 2024 MCA Summer Meeting! 

The Metal Construction Association’s (MCA) 2024 Summer Meeting is the place to learn from engaging speakers, connect with key members of the industry and advance shared priorities. This year, the meeting is happening in Rosemont, Illinois with the kick-off event, the Welcome Reception, beginning on June 10 at 5:30 p.m. Educational opportunities begin the following day and continue until noon on June 12.  

The educational portion kicks off on June 11 with opening remarks and a keynote presentation from Darcy Bien. Darcy is a leading strategist and business coach. She has worked with over 385 companies to help build growth-focused company cultures based on health and holistic leadership. Her approach highlights four benefits: 

1. Proactive versus reactive strategic management. 
2. Alignment of management team with the company’s future direction. 
3. Improved focus on and accountability for the company's goals. 
4. A disciplined strategic planning process that works. 

Later that same day, attendees can hear about MCA’s market study from guest speaker Paul Trombitas, from FMI, and get a technical update from guest speaker Alan Scott, the director of sustainability at Intertek. Interspersed around these information sessions are council and general meetings for event participants to attend. These meetings will offer attendees an early glimpse at the upcoming plans for the next METALCON as well as key organization information.   

The next and final day, June 12, features a market development committee update from guest speaker and digital marketing strategist Allison Lundberg. 

The Summer Meeting is taking place at the Hilton Hotel in town! It's conveniently located, close to both O'Hare International Airport and the city of Chicago via public transportation.
