MetalCoffeeShop®, the metal-focused site in The Coffee Shops™ family, is dedicated to being a digital space for the metal construction industry to meet, learn and grow together. By partnering with industry leaders like Sherwin-Williams and the Metal Building Contractors & Erectors Association (MBCEA), we offer a one-of-a-kind educational, informational and community experience for metal contractors and the metal industry through educational webinars, training opportunities and more.
With that mission in mind, we are excitedly counting down the days until October 21, 2025, when METALCON kicks off! This is the only global event dedicated exclusively to the application of metal in design and construction. Judy Geller, vice president of METALCON, elaborated, “METALCON has a variety of events that create a dynamic environment for idea-sharing and meaningful networking — all conveniently under one roof.” Our crew will be live under that same roof next to the METALCON Deck with the MetalCoffeeShop Soundstage, sponsored by Sherwin-Williams! This is a great opportunity for those at the show to meet up with The Coffee Shop crew and for those who can’t be there in Las Vegas, Nevada to watch live on MetalCoffeeShop YouTube and be part of the conversation.
We are also excited to be sponsoring one of the many incredible events that Judy mentioned, Women in Metal Construction: Metal & Mimosas. This event is a joyful celebration of the women who make our industry incredible and will feature an inspiring talk from Jennifer Wilkerson of the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER), titled, “Building Our Tomorrow: Women in the Skilled Trades.” And last but not least, if you’re attending the METALCON Speed Networking event, which is a great way to maximize your time and connections, you will see familiar faces from MetalCoffeeShop hosting it!
If you want to come in person and haven’t gotten a ticket yet, we’re hosting a giveaway for 10 free Total Experience passes to the show. The Total Experience pass gives you a premium pass to everything from the 250+ exhibitors on the show floor, demos, keynotes, networking events, educational seminars and more!
