We just came off a very successful METALfab in Oklahoma City and are looking forward to our next big event in Nashville, Tennessee! Scheduled January 23-26, 2024 (January 24-26 Exhibits), METALfab 2024 should be one of our best shows ever!


We have just contracted with a new floor plan and exhibitor contracting platform and will be ready to place our 2024 sponsors in two weeks and open the floor to 2023 exhibitors in approximately 4 weeks. Once we have firm dates, we will send out more information.

To gather feedback on the type of projects that NOMMA members are working on (such as elevator enclosures, sky bridges etc.), the Code Advocacy Committee has developed a quick Code Advocacy Membership Survey.


The information will help NOMMA gather data on the necessity of pursuing a committee position with the Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities, ICC (ASC A117). This survey will only take a couple of minutes to complete.

With Tax Day now officially behind us, it's natural to wonder where all that hard-earned money you gave back to the IRS is actually going. We know that tax payments play an important role in keeping the lights on for public services we depend on throughout the year. But how is your money being spent, and what percentage goes where? A new online tool by the nonprofit National Priorities Project can help you answer that question.

Market volatility continues to impact the metals industry, propelling the search for new risk management and revenue growth solutions. To help combat the effects of the pandemic, global labor/transportation shortages and international conflicts, innovative supply chain trends are becoming more popular. These include:


  • Digital technologies - such as digital marketplaces, AI, and collaborative tools.

  • Global trade - growing interest continues, although the trade system is more complex now due to factors such as tariff and trade policy changes and fluctuating currency exchange rates.

  • Sustainable business practices  - efforts to reduce waste, improve efficiency and employ renewable energy sources such as wind and solar are a few of the top focuses in 2023.
