Metalcon has launched its new 40 Under 40 Recognition Program, highlighting rising leaders driving the future of metal construction. Established in 1991, Metalcon is the only annual event dedicated exclusively to the application of metal in design and construction. Forty professionals, age 40 and under, will be honored for their work influencing projects, teams, and processes—from jobsites and fabrication floors to engineering and design.
“The program spotlights professionals who are already making an impact across the metal construction industry while also representing its next generation of leadership,” says Judy Geller, vice president of trade shows for PSMJ Resources, Inc., producers of MetalCon. “These are individuals driving projects forward, improving how work gets done, and helping shape where the industry is headed.”
Nominations are now open and can be submitted via an online nomination form by the July 21, 2026 deadline. Honorees will be selected by a cross-industry panel based on achievement, leadership, innovation and overall impact.
Selected honorees will receive industry-wide recognition, including a featured profile on Metalcon.com, promotion through email, social media, and trade publications, and recognition onsite at Metalcon 2026, taking place October 7–9, 2026, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
