Where the Steel Industry Gathers this Spring and Why We’ll Be There

Written by Versatile | Feb 19, 2026

The steel industry moves forward when ironworkers, erectors, fabricators, equipment providers, executives, and field leaders gather in the same room and challenge how work gets done.

This spring, Versatile will participate in four of the most important events shaping structural steel execution:

We are not attending just to be seen. We are attending because these events shape how modern steel erection companies operate, compete, and grow.

IMPACT: Labor, Craft, and Union Productivity

Booth #118

IMPACT brings together union ironworkers and contractors who carry real influence on active jobsites.

If you work with organized labor, you understand something simple. Trust matters. Transparency matters. Productivity matters.

One of the most common misconceptions we encounter is that Versatile is “a camera on a crane.” That misunderstanding disappears quickly once people see what we actually do.

We are not surveillance.
We are not monitoring individuals.

We provide crane tracking technology and construction AI that helps teams:

  • Understand plan versus actual installation
  • Improve steel erection productivity
  • Protect schedule and margin
  • Win more competitive bids

Union ironworkers have the power to stop work. They also have the power to drive productivity when equipped with clear information. Our goal at IMPACT is education and conversation, not sales pressure.

If you are attending, stop by Booth #118. Let’s talk about what real jobsite visibility looks like.

CONEXPO: Scale, Equipment, and Industry Momentum

CONEXPO represents scale.

It is where equipment manufacturers, technology providers, contractors, and partners come together to see where construction is heading next.

CONEXPO matters because modern steel erection productivity depends on alignment between:

  • Equipment capability
  • Execution visibility
  • Project management systems
  • Field leadership

If you are attending and want to connect, reach out. We will be there learning as much as we are sharing.

NASCC: Structural Steel Execution and Technical Rigor

Booth #541

AISC runs steel. NASCC is where fabricators and erectors gather to discuss the technical realities of structural steel.

This is where conversations go deep:

  • Fabrication and erection coordination
  • Data center construction visibility
  • Execution sequencing
  • Structural steel software adoption

We will be at Booth #541, showing the latest advancements in our platform, including:

  • 4D execution views
  • AI chat built around real jobsite data
  • Control Center for plan versus actual insight

Many of these capabilities are currently reserved for active users who are testing and shaping what comes next. At NASCC, we are opening that conversation more broadly.

If you fabricate and erect, this is the place to see how execution data becomes decision support.

SEAA: Erector Community and Peer Learning

Booth #49

SEAA is where steel erectors gather as a community.

Peer learning. Shared challenges. Real talk about productivity and risk.

We want SEAA members as customers. That is not hidden. We believe modern steel erection companies need modern tools to compete.

At Booth #49, we will be:

  • Demonstrating Control Center and 4D
  • Sharing new AI capabilities
  • Announcing SEAA-specific programs and specials
  • Hosting a session currently under development

If you are a steel erector comparing tools to help run a modern steel erection company, this is your opportunity to evaluate structural steel software built specifically for your execution reality.

And yes, the 2026 swag will be worth the stop.

What We’re Showing in 2026

Across all four events, we are bringing the latest evolution of Versatile:

  • Plan versus actual installation tracking
  • Crane tracking technology that supports decision-making
  • AI tools that make jobsite data usable
  • Control Center for executives and project managers

This is about helping steel teams answer one question clearly: Are we on track?

When that answer becomes visible, confidence increases across the project team.

Why Industry Participation Matters

We invest in these events because structural steel software and construction AI cannot develop in isolation.

Innovation in steel erection productivity happens through conversation with:

  • Ironworkers
  • Supers
  • Project managers
  • Executives
  • Fabricators
  • Equipment providers

We build better technology when we listen.
