The goal is to educate our participants in the novel approaches used to turn drawings into reality, as well as the inherent limitations that different tools impose on the bending and joining of sheet metal.
After this tour, you will be able to refine and optimize your sheet metal detailing and specifications to deliver more value to your clients through fewer RFIs and contract document changes in the field.

Lunch will be provided following the Tour. Drinks and networking to follow at a Local Brewery for those that don’t want to go back to the office.
Following the tour, everyone is encourged to attend a no-hosted Happy Hour and networking. Location TBD.
