// What To Expect
More Than
You Bargained For
Come cheer on a friend, heckle a coworker, or just watch some of the best fabricators in the industry go to work. Whether you're in the trades or just a fan of real skills on display, there's plenty to keep you going all day.
Spectators can jump into games and quick challenges, check out sponsor demos, grab great food, and score giveaways throughout the day. There'll be music, plenty of places to hang out, and no shortage of conversations with people who live and breathe fabrication.
It's competitive, it's laid-back, and it's built around the kind of camaraderie that makes this industry what it is.

Four Events.
One Day.
🔥 The Main Competition
Watch 50 competitors work through 7 challenges scored on speed and accuracy — testing cutting, welding, grinding, drilling, and more.
🚛 Welding Rig Truck Show
The nation's largest welding rig truck show. Old or new, dirty or clean — roll it in and let the crowd decide who wins.
🎨 Metal Art Competition
Five metal artists create original, functional pieces — judged by you. Attendees vote for their favorite. The winning artist takes home a Lincoln Electric prize.
🇺🇸 9/11 Tribute Sculpture
Metal artist Jerry Boertzel has created a special 9/11 memorial sculpture that will be on display at the event. This piece incorporates a piece of steel salvaged from the actual Twin Towers — a tribute to those lost and a testament to what skilled hands can build and preserve.
