1.1. What is the NASCC?

The North American Steel Construction Conference is a premier education event aimed at providing structural engineers, steelfabricators, erectors, and detailers with practical information and the latest design and construction techniques. In addition, the SteelConference offers an extensive trade show, featuring products and services ranging from fabrication machinery, galvanizing, and

connection products to detailing and engineering software. Its a once-a-year opportunity to learn the latest techniques, see the mostinnovative products, and network with your peers and clients.

1.2. What is the Stability Conference?

The Structural Stability Research Councils Annual Stability Conference has been held in conjunction with the NASCC since 2001.Presentation topics range from Performance of Steel Angle Connections Under Design Fire Scenarios to Buckling Behavior ofSteel Truss with Torsional Bracing. The Stability Conference covers stability issues for construction, fire, seismic, bridges, andcold-formed design. In addition, the conference includes the 2011 Beedle Award Paper presentation by Nicholas Trahair. Attendanceat all of the Stability Conference sessions in included with your registration; however, SSRC proceedings are included only ineducator registrations (all others may pre-order them separately).
