METALfab2017 was a BIG Success!
THANK YOU to everyone who helped make it successful.
The first year of the co-location with NOMMA and American Fence Association (AFA) proved to be a successful one with increased attendance, an increased interested in exhibiting, and many educational sessions for members from both associations to choose from. There was plenty to learn, lots to do, and people to meet for all who attended.

The NOMMA Welcome Reception, held on Thursday, February 2, was one of many well-attended events. It was an evening full of networking and reuniting with new and old friends. The History in the Making Opening Party, held on Friday, February 3, was great for NOMMA members and AFA members to integrate and get to know each other better. Saturday, February 4, began with NOMMA's Annual Meeting where select NOMMA members were awarded for their service to the industry. In the evening, NEF's Party with a Purpose, was a HUGE hit in raising funds for the foundation. On the morning of Super Bowl Sunday, February 5, NOMMA hosted a Breakfast of Champions where winners of the Top Job Award Contest were announced and given their awards.
The exhibit floor was open from Friday, February 3 through Sunday, February 5. NEF provided a great lineup of education sessions from Wednesday, February 1 through Friday, February 3. And last but not least, legendary keynote speaker Steve Gilliland moved the crowd with his powerful speech on Purpose, Passion, and Pride.
Look for a more detailed coverage of the events that took place at METALfab2017 in the March/April issue of O&MM Fabricator.
