Phoenix
Who are the speakers?
In Greater Phoenix, you’ll find everything from
world-class hotels and resorts and fine dining to
exhilarating adventure, breath-taking golf courses,
trendy shopping, modern nightlife and enriching culture. With more than 300 days of annual
sunshine, who wouldn’t want to be in Phoenix in
April? Thanks to several major projects and developments in downtown, including the brand new
Phoenix Civic Plaza Convention Center, the area is
brimming with energy and excitement.
Unlike other conferences that issue a general
call for papers, NASCC carefully selects topics
of interest and then seeks out the top experts and
presenters. Some of the presenters are very well
known (R. Shankar Nair on skyscrapers), while
others may not be household names but still
bring a distinct expertise to the program (Laurel
McKenzie and Charlie Turcotte on complex
erection issues).
the Steel Conference
What about the exhibit hall?
offers more
than 80 technical sessions and is a premier educational event aimed at providing structural engineers,
steel fabricators, erectors, and detailers with practical information and the latest design and construction techniques. In addition, the Steel Conference
offers an extensive trade show, featuring products
and services ranging from fabrication machinery,
galvanizing, and connection products to detailing
and engineering software. It’s a once-a-year opportunity to learn the latest techniques, see the most
innovative products, and network with your peers
and clients.
This year’s exhibit hall features more than
400 booths with more than 200 exhibitors
demonstrating their latest products. You’ll find
fabrication equipment, detailing software, connection products, safety equipment, engineering
software, and coatings. Equipment manufacturers typically provide full demonstrations of
their equipment; steel beams are cut, punched,
and drilled right on the exhibit hall floor! The
exhibit hall is open April 1–3.
What is the
Stability Conference?
The Structural Stability Research Council’s Annual
Stability Conference has been held in conjunction with NASCC since 2001. Presentation topics include stability under fire conditions and
stability of compression members. In addition, the
Annual Stability Conference includes the 2008
Beedle Award Paper Presentation by Wei-Wen Yu.
Sessions are free with your full registration. SSRC
proceedings are included in educator registrations;
all others may purchase them separately (see
registration form on page 26).
Who attends?
More than 3,700 structural engineers, steel
fabricators, erectors, detailers, educators, and
others involved in the design and construction
of fabricated steel attend the conference each
year. In addition to conference seminars,
attendees have many networking opportunities,
including the annual Fabricator Workshops,
where fabricators can exchange ideas in a noncompetitive environment.
Getting to Phoenix
Sky Harbor International Airport
(PHX) is served by more than 20 carriers that
provide nearly 500 daily nonstop flights to more
than 100 cities in the United States and around
the world. Sky Harbor is also the only airport in
the country that’s a hub for two major low-fare
airlines—US Airways and Southwest Airlines.
Sky Harbor’s easily accessible Rental Car
Center houses all the airport rental car company
counters and fleets. A multi-colored “Rental Car
Shuttle” provides free transportation from the
airport curb at the baggage claim level to the
Rental Car Center, just west of Sky Harbor.
If you’ve got time to spare, take a look around.
Sky Harbor houses one of the largest airport art
programs in the U.S. Its collection contains more

Wednesday Keynote
What are those funny looking
plants all over Phoenix?
Friday Keynote
The saguaro is the largest cactus in the world
and the only place they “naturally” grow
is within 150 miles of Phoenix-Scottsdale,
Arizona. They grow to over 40 feet tall at a rate
of only 9 inches every 10 years. A saguaro’s
arms usually begin to grow after it’s about 15
feet tall and around 75 years old. Arizona law
mandates an automatic year in jail for anyone
caught removing or intentionally destroying a
saguaro. The age of a saguaro cactus is determined by its height.

Connection Design Responsibility: Is the Debate Over?
Wednesday, April 1, 1:00 p.m.–2:45 p.m.
Decades of debate have been associated with the delegation
of connection design work from the Structural Engineer of
Record (SER) to a licenced engineer working for or retained
by the steel fabricator. Could a workable solution to this
debate be coming in the 2010 edition of the AISC Code of
Standard Practice? A joint task group formed by the Council
of American Structural Engineers (CASE) and American
Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) developed a proposal
that is currently being balloted. This session will explore the
proposal, summarize its current status in the balloting process, and debate the merits of delegating or not delegating the
work of connection design.
Speakers: Charles J. Carter, P.E., S.E., is vice president and
chief structural engineer at AISC. After nearly two decades,
he has established his reputation as the go-to person for information on the design of fabricated structural steel. D. Kirk
Harman, P.E., S.E., is president and managing principal of
The Harman Group, a structural engineering firm headquartered in Philadelphia. He also serves on the National Council
of Structural Engineers Code Advisory Committee on Quality
Assurance/Special Inspection Requirements. Glenn Bishop,
P.E., is a Senior Principal of LBYD, Inc., a structural engineering firm headquartered in Birmingham, AL. He has more than
four decades of experience and is an active member of the
American Council of Engineering Companies and the Council
of American Structural Engineers.

Short Course I
Unlocking the Simplicity of Analysis and
Design with ANSI/AISC 360
Practical Connection Design for Economical
Steel Structures
Saturday, April 4 • 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
You either design connections or review them on submittals. This
course will help you do both. With recent national emphasis on new
structural integrity requirements for connections, your understanding of
connection design and behavior is even more critical. This seminar will
demystify connection behavior and design and show you how to make
connection choices that are economical and constructible. You will learn
the appropriate limit states for common connections, how the load path
progresses through the elements of these connections, and how to simplify
the design and review of these connections in your practice. You also will
understand how to apply the principles learned for common connections to
other more complex connections. This practice-oriented seminar focuses
on what you need to know to design and evaluate the connections required
for your projects. You will receive handouts with extensive examples that
provide useful templates for your practice and direction for efficient use of
the 13th edition AISC Steel Construction Manual.
Speakers: Larry S. Muir, Consultant and William A. Thornton, Cives

educator session
Can you imagine designing without ever having to calculate a K-factor
again? It’s an option now, called the Direct Analysis Method. Attend this
seminar and you will understand the principles of analysis and design
that are the basis of the 2005 AISC Specification for Structural Steel
Buildings. Learn an approach to design that results in an economical
structural steel solution achieved with the efficiency required of a
design office. See the basic differences between first-order analysis and
second-order analysis, when and why second-order analysis must be
used, and how to use the various methods provided for in ANSI/AISC 360.
You will learn about stability of structural frames, the use and misuse
of the effective length factor, K, and the how and why of design without
the need for K. Extensive analysis and design examples will be provided
so that attendees have guidance to follow when approaching their
own specific projects. Although specific software will not be discussed,
examples will be presented that illustrate how to carry out the new
Direct Analysis Method with the currently available software and how to
evaluate your own software for accomplishing an acceptable analysis.

BIM 102 for the Steel Fabricator
Wednesday, April 1 • 8:00 a.m.–noon
Steel Design: Are We Teaching the Right Stuff?
Wednesday, April 1
8:00 a.m.–noon
As provisions for steel design change and building technology
continues to advance, it helps to step back and check to see if
the education provided to future designers is adequately preparing them for their careers. At this session, the new teaching aid,
“Core Teaching Aids for Structural Steel Design Courses” will
be introduced followed by the panel discussion, “Steel Design:
Are We Teaching the Right Stuff?”.
For those that have a familiarity with BIM, but are not quite sure what
the next step in implementation is, BIM 102 is for you. As more and more
companies are sold on the value of Building Information Modeling, a
challenge arises to provide the structural steel industry with the instruction
and information it needs to continue and advance their BIM program.
This course is designed as a follow-up to the introduction-level
BIM courses presented in the two previous years. This short course will
consist of presentations from three members of the AISC IT Committee,
each of which has utilized BIM successfully in practice.

Short Course III
Presented by the Structural Engineering Institute
Wind Load Provisions of ASCE 7
As demonstrated by the events of the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons, wind remains
a significant design consideration for buildings and structures of all types. Understanding
how wind affects a structure and determining the appropriate wind loads on the structure
are keys to mitigating the effects of wind. This session will provide attendees with an
introduction to determining wind loads in accordance with the 2005 edition of ASCE 7,
(including a review of Method 1–Simplified Procedure and Method 2–Analytical Procedure,
which includes provisions for rigid buildings of all heights and low-rise buildings). The
course will cover the load calculations for the Main Wind-Force Resisting System and
Components and Cladding. Additionally, provisions for determining exposure Categories,
Topographic Effects, Gust Effect Factors, and Enclosure Classifications will be covered. The
session will focus on the highlight changes from the 2002 edition of ASCE 7, and will also
provide a general overview of application of all the wind provisions in the standards.

Short Course IV
Presented by the American Subcontractors Association
Understanding the Costs and Risks of
Insurance Wrap-Ups
Do projects with owner- or contractor-controlled insurance programs really provide
everything they promise in terms of savings and benefits? Increasingly, the evidence
says no. These programs can leave subcontractors with uninsured exposures, add
administrative costs, and cause subcontractors to lose volume discounts with their
insurers. Learn how to negotiate a reasonable discount rate for participation in a wrapup project and how to reserve the right not to participate in the wrap-insurance program.
Don’t pay the wrap-up premium and end up later regretting that you did not ask the right
questions up-front.

Short Course V
Presented by the American Galvanizers Association
Design and Fabrication for Galvanizing
The galvanizing process has existed for more than 250 years and has been a mainstay of North American industry since
the 1890s. Galvanizing is used throughout various markets to provide steel with unmatched protection from the ravages of
corrosion. A wide range of projects that use steel in their construction—from bridges to sports stadiums to power generation
facilities—benefit from galvanizing’s superior corrosion prevention properties. Additionally, because galvanized steel requires
no maintenance for decades, its use in public construction is an efficient use of our taxes. Selecting galvanized steel for
private projects makes a significant contribution to a company’s profitability. This course will examine the features of steel
fabrications that can produce a high quality hot-dip galvanized corrosion protection system. Fabrication issues such as
dissimilar metals, venting of trapped air, drainage of zinc metal, welding of steel components before or after galvanizing, steel
chemistry, steel shapes and sizes, and many other fabrication and design issues will be presented to assist in the design and
fabrication of steel structures to include a hot-dip galvanized corrosion protection system. As it is becoming very common for
the steel fabrication to be located in a very visible spot, the issue of painting or powder coating over hot-dip galvanized steel
will be presented. All engineers, fabricators, and specifiers are invited to attend this course.

Short Course VI
Presented by the Steel Joist Institute and the Steel Deck Institute
Exploring Building Design with Steel Joists, Joist Girders,
and Steel Deck
This course will provide designers with a basic understanding of how to: properly specify joists and joist girders; properly
specify and use joist substitutes and extended ends; properly specify roof deck, floor deck, and form deck; better understand
the capacity of diaphragm capacity tables; determine bridging requirements for the rection and overall stability of steel joists,
joist girders, and steel deck; better coordinate issues and details between the specifying professional, joist manufacturer,
and steel deck manufacturer; better understand and communicate the information that is important to the joist manufacturer
and deck manufacturer to help reduce project duration, materials, and costs; and apply and specify the steel joist and deck
products when subject to various gravity and environmental loading conditions such as rain (ponding), seismic, snow, wind,
etc., on concentrated or non-uniform loads, and lateral loads.

Short Course VIII
Presented by the American Galvanizers Association
Inspection of Hot-Dipped Galvanized Steel
Saturday, April 4 • 8:00 a.m.–noon
The American Galvanizers Association has developed a course to assist galvanizers, engineers, specifiers, and fabricators
as well as to train outside inspectors in the requirements that are detailed in the ASTM specifications that are employed
when fabricated steel parts are hot-dip galvanized. The course will focus on the three main ASTM specifications, A123,
A153, and A767 that contain the requirements for a delivered hot-dip galvanized product. The course material will focus
on the exact language of the specification to explain the explicit requirements and also explain the implied requirements
based on the specification language. This course will discuss the expected end state of the galvanizing process as well
as responsibilities of the various parties responsible for producing a fabricated steel product that has a hot-dip galvanized
coating. The design and fabrication processes and their relationship to the final coating will be discussed. Examples of
coating discrepancies and their probable cause as well as their resolution will be topics for this course. The course will
cover the inspection details such as measurement tools and their proper use and sampling details for multiple pieces of
the same material. All engineers, specifiers, and fabricators are invited to attend this course.

Short Course IX
Presented by the Structural Stability Research Council
Bracing for Stability
The proper sizing and placement of bracing is critical to the stability of structural members and systems. There are
numerous factors that affect the fundamental behavior of bracing and engineers must possess a clear understanding of
these factors to design successful bracing for structural stability. This course provides an in-depth overview of the design
and behavior of stability bracing including relative, nodal, continuous, and lean-on bracing systems. Bracing to prevent
lateral and torsional buckling modes is discussed. Case studies on bracing failures are presented. The bracing provisions
in the AISC Specification are fully developed in the course and examples are presented demonstrating the proper
application of these provisions. In addition to covering the behavior of column and beam bracing, an in-depth discussion
of beam buckling is presented along with solutions to frequently encountered problems.

P1 Considerations for Design and Construction of Tall
Buildings
Wednesday 3:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m.
0.10 CEUs/1.0 PDHs
Speaker:
Abbas Aminmansour, University of Illinois
Tall buildings, because of their status and scale, often encompass
unique architecture and building systems. Efficient design, construction and operation of tall buildings requires an integrated approach
by all team members. This presentation will highlight the collaborative role of members of the design team with emphasis on structural
design for overall efficiency and economy of the project during
construction and lifetime of the building.
Abbas Aminmansour is a professor in the structures program at
the school of architecture at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign. He has taught steel design at Penn State and Illinois
for about 20 years. His areas of interest include development of
new methods for steel design as well as integrated design and construction of tall buildings.
P2 Underlying Concepts in Seismic Design Codes
Thursday 8:00 a.m.–9:30 a.m.
0.15 CEUs/1.5 PDHs
Speaker: Chia-Ming Uang, University of California
Keeping up with the ever-increasing sophistication of seismic
design codes (e.g., IBC and AISC Seismic Provisions) has been
a major challenge to designers. While seismic codes get updated
frequently, the basic design philosophies remain the same. An
understanding of these underlying concepts will help designers to
use these codes properly.
Chia-Ming Uang is a professor in the Department of Structural
Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. His
research areas include seismic analysis, deisgn, and the largescale testing of steel structures. He is a member of the AISC
Specifications Committee.
P3 Why Can’t Bolting Be More Simple—Like it Used to Be?
Thursday 1:15 p.m.–2:15 p.m.
0.10 CEUs/1.0 PDHs
Speaker: Peter C. Birkemoe, University of Toronto
The changing requirements for engineering design using high
strength bolting have evolved from practical invention, economy
and research discoveries over the last 50 years. While rules provided in specifications give strong and apparent limitations, the
application of our knowledge of physical behavior must accompany the use of these relationships to permit creative use of steel in
design. A brief review of the pivotal changes in bolted connection
design that have lead to the current connection requirements will
be developed for connections with bolts in shear and bolts in tension. Several case study problems that involve aspects of design,
fabrication, and erection will be presented and help to answer the
question, “Why can’t it be simple like it used to be?”
Peter C. Birkemoe is a professor at the University of Toronto and
has more than 40 years of experience in structural engineering

E6 Who’s Financially Responsible When a Job Goes Bad?
Speaker: James C. Parker, Simpson Gumpertz & Heger
Who is financially responsible for structural design changes during a fast
track, design-build project? After the dust settles from a difficult job, it often
appears that engineering drawings were incomplete, that the drawings were bid
by a general contractor who didn’t understand the process of procuring steel,
and that the fabricator bid the job with the lowest defendable scope to get the
contract signed. This CASE program will explore the engineer’s dilemma, the
contractor’s needs, and how to avoid the fabricator’s nightmare.
Also of interest to fabricators.
E7 Delegating Connection Responsibility to the Fabricator—What Is
the EOR’s Legal Responsibility?
Speakers: Bob Harris and Jeff Winick, Stein Ray & Harris LLP

E8 Rules of Thumb for Steel Design
Speaker: Socrates Ioannides, Structural Affiliates
International
In earlier times, when computers were neither available nor essential,
one objective of steel designers was to discover elegant, simple, and
appropriately accurate computational methods. These quick “rules of
thumb” became essential resources for structural engineers. And despite
the advent of computers, these quick approaches retain their value
for: making on-the-spot intelligent decisions, developing a reasonable
solution for computer input, and quickly verifying the validity of the
computer output.
E9 Design of Frames Using Web-Tapered Members
Speakers: Richard Kaehler, Computerized Structural
Design; Donald White, Georgia Institute of
Technology
AISC’s upcoming design guide, being developed in conjunction with

benefits and challenges they faced by using this system, which will be
advantageous when you start your own Staggered Truss Project!
E11 HSS Design
Speaker: Jeffrey Packer, University of Toronto
Moderator: Erika Winters-Downey, AISC
Based on AISC’s upcoming design guide on HSS, this session will provide practical, up-to-date information on the design of structures with
HSS and simplifying connections in construction.
E12 Specifying Camber—Rules of Thumb for Designers
Speaker: Erika Winters-Downey, AISC
Moderator: Terry Zwick, Atlas Iron Works
Specifying beam camber can provide substantial depth and weight savings to a floor system and an entire building. Though there are times
when specifying camber can be advantageous, there are situations in
which it is also impractical. The suggestions given in this presentation
are based on the summarized results of AISC Steel Solutions Center’s
research and will help you achieve the greatest benefit when specifying
camber.
E13 The Process of Renovation—Concept to Completion!
Speaker: Stanley Wojnowski, Buro Happold Consulting
Engineers
Can the existing steel members be reused on a major renovation project? This presentation will provide a step-by-step guide to developing a
systematic sequence for renovation projects centered on incorporating
and reusing the existing steel members. Several recent New York City
projects will be used as examples.
Also of interest to fabricators and erectors.
E14 Safety by Design
Speaker: T. Michael Toole, Bucknell University
Construction safety is everyone’s business—engineers included.
Whether you are motivated by the ethical mandate to hold safety paramount, by the common sense desire to minimize injuries and project
delays, or by the business goal of best serving the owner client, you
need to be informed about what you can do on a voluntary basis to
make your buildings easier and safer to erect. Be a part of the growing
nationwide trend of buildings being designed with construction safety
in mind. Prevention through design is an important aspect of sustainability that many steel designers are not familiar with. Come learn and
participate in a thought-provoking session.
E15 Better Base Plate Designs
Speakers: Barry Arnold, ARW Engineers; Troy Dye,
ARW Engineers
All steel structures begin with a base plate or embed. The base plate is
an essential part of the structure and is crucial to its performance during
a seismic or wind event. Little research has been completed and therefore little is known about the correct modeling and performance of base
plates and embeds. This presentation will take some of the mystery out
of the design of these deceptively simple, often overlooked, frequently
marginalized, yet crucial members to minimize the chance of a change
orders or catastrophe.
E16 Connection Design: Dealing with Load Paths, Transfer
Forces, and the Apparent Lack of Joint Equilibrium
Speaker: Bill Merrell
While today’s software is increasingly automated, few offer a “transfer
force” calculator to aid in the preparation of design drawings containing complete connection design data. This presentation uses connection
design examples to illustrate both load path and transfer force and
provides recommendations to both the EOR and the fabricator’s connection design engineer on the development of algorithms to determine
reasonable connection design loads at joints where there is an apparent
lack of equilibrium.

include design guides, section properties, and shortcuts. The session will
conclude with examples and details of practical use with conventional
framing.
E18 What Fabricator Certification Means to the EOR
Speaker: Brian Raff, AISC
Does it really matter whether you include AISC Quality Certification
in your specifications? Isn’t the program really just a marketing ploy
by the steel industry? This session looks at what is covered by AISC
Certification from the engineer’s perspective. Attendees will take a
“virtual journey” through the audit process, with an emphasis on the
procedures and documentation requirements that form the backbone of
the program.
E19 Wind Design Considerations for Steel Joists and Joist Girders
Speakers: Perry Green; Tim Holtermann
Attendees will learn the proper design of steel joist and joist girder roof
systems for resisting uplift loads, as well as requirements for bearing seat
design and bearing design. The session includes practical advice on the
proper analysis, design, and specification of steel joists and joist girders
as part of a moment frame as well as the use of joists or joist girders as
drag struts or collector elements in the lateral load distribution system
when shear walls or braced frames are employed. Finally, the session
will discuss the interaction and design of kickers or braces between walls
subjected to wind loads.
E20 Trends in Offshoring/Outsourcing and How Advances in
Software Address this Migration
Speaker: Santanu Das, Bentley Systems, Inc.
With the trend of globalization affecting all aspects of business, we find
today’s engineering companies slowly embracing offshoring to combat the

II of this seminar.
E24 BIM: “Cradle to Grave”—From the Structural Engineer’s
Perspective
Speaker: James A. Corsiglia, Harley Ellis Devereaux
Moderator: Larry Kruth, Douglas Steel
Attendees will learn about the process and modeling techniques used
in BIM. The presentation starts with linking in the architectural model,
moving to conceptual models. The speakers will provide specific information on what they do and what they don’t in their BIM environment.
Additionally, how sections, typical details, and general notes are handled
will be covered. The next step will be interaction with our analytical programs, since the bi-directional linking has left some engineers concerned,
as well as us. The program will then move on to the sharing of the model
and shop drawing process as the final topic.
E25 How Does Parking Play with Mixed-Use?
Speaker: Michael G. Brennan, Astorino
Moderator: Bill Pascoli, AISC
How does parking affect a current mixed-use facility? This session will
explore that question by examining the PNC Plaza project, which is a
$200 million, 26-story mixed-use building with approximately 4,500 tons
of structural steel. The building will contain offices for the PNC and Reed
Smith, an international law firm, a 165-room hotel that will be run by
Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, 28 luxury condominiums ranging in price
from $500,000 to $1 million, retail shops, and an underground parking
garage. Plus this building CAN receive USGBC LEED certification in five
areas; the building’s core and shell, the Reed Smith and PNC office space,
the hotel, and the condos.
E26 Ethics and Accountability
Speaker: Dan Murphy, Meyer Borgman & Johnson, Inc.
Are ethics and integrity situational or black-and-white? This presentation

F11 Fabricator Roundtable
Thursday 8:00 a.m.–9:30 a.m.
0.15 CEUs/1.5 PDHs
Fabricators rarely get to talk with their peers in a noncompetitive setting. This workshop allows groups of
fabricators from different regions of the country, assisted by
a moderator, to sit down in small groups and discuss issues
critical to the operation and functioning of a structural steel
fabrication shop. Discussions will range from dealing with
escalation clauses to implementing quality systems. Take
advantage of this annual opportunity to learn and explore
opportunities with your peers!
F12 Developing a Sustainable Business
Wednesday 3:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m.
0.10 CEUs/1.0 PDHs
Speaker: Richard Barrett, Barrett Structures
Have you wondered how to develop a sustainable policy
suitable to your business operations? Learn from one
fabricator who started the process in 2006 and became
one of the first steelwork contractors in the world
to have calculated their own carbon footprint! The
session will cover the process from undertanding your
company’s reasons for thinking about sustainability to
the economic impact to the impact on the community and
the environment.
Also of interest to erectors.
F13 Efficient Beam Connections—Determine the
Most Efficient Connection For Your Shop
Speaker: Richard B. Vincent, Canam
Group Inc.
Moderator: Suja John, CISC
This presentation will look at all the different combinations
of beam-to-beam and beam-to-column connections and
compare their relative costs with respect to materials,
fabrication man-hours, and field installation hours. The
study should enable each fabricator to assess the various
connections with respect to their shop’s equipment and
project priorities.

D4 RFIs: Use and Abuse (Do You Know the Difference?)
Speaker:
Rob Schoen, Axis Steel Detailing, Inc.;
Mark Stoller, Schuff Steel Co.
Schedule and quality of information for jobs in the current market
complicate and increase the need and speed for answers and solutions when questions arise. If information is missing, or the parties
involved are remote, the problems become even more complex.
How have standard procedures changed from the old paper RFI
days in order to keep up? How can we avoid delays and frustrations,
while still maintaining a system of communication and documentation? The solutions to these problems are being tried and tested in
the industry today, and will be showcased in this session.
D5 Document Control and Management
Speaker:
Kathy Francis, Document Consulting Inc.
This session will discuss options, both new and proven, to help
manage and coordinate multiple formats and variations of electronic
document deliverables; develop and manage document control procedures; and document management issues in general.
D6 How to Get Rich in Detailing
Speaker:
Hugh Dobie, Dowco Consultants; Donald D.
Duncan, D3 Financial Counselors
This session examines what makes a successful detailing business
and once successful, what the detailer should do to prepare for
retirement and ownership transition.
D7 Value Added Selling: Competing Against Overseas
Detailers
Speaker:
Rob Schoen, Axis Steel Detailing, Inc.
How can a U.S. detailer compete when someone overseas has lower

industry participants.
D9 Fire Protection, Painting and Galvanizing
(What the Detailer Should Know)
Speakers: Terry Devine and Fred Tinker, NISD
Moderator: Christine McCulloch, NISD
Steel finishes create problems that need to be addressed by the
detailer. In some cases, such as the oil industry, this can get
awfully complicated. The NISD is now publishing two separate
guides to help the industry. This session gives an overview of the
documents by the people that wrote them.
D10 Communicating and Coordinating Between Detailers
Speakers:
Chris Fischer, Schuff International; John
Pedersen, CalTrek, Inc.
What do you do when there is a boatload of detailers on a single
project? How do you coordinate between their activities—
especially when they aren’t all local? This session will help you
develop communication tools to help the coordination on projects
involving multiple detailers.
D11 Stair and Miscellaneous Steel Detailing in 3D
Speaker:
Kevin Davey, Steel Detailers Group
Moderator: Michael Pellicio, NISD
Many detailers and fabricators still believe that stairs and miscellaneous steel cannot be detailed efficiently in 3D software. The
truth is that software upgrades in recent years, and detailers with
insight and incentive, have found ways to make detailing miscellaneous members and stairs in 3D very profitable. This session
will discuss how to get started, and the pitfalls and issues involved
in those first few jobs that include miscellaneous detailing.

Conference Dinner
A Night at the Corona Hacienda and Rodeo
Thursday, April 2, 2009, 7:00 p.m.
Corona Hacienda is approximately 20 minutes from the
downtown hotels and convention hotels. Shuttles will
begin departing from all designated NASCC hotels at
6:30 p.m. Please consult your ticket for additional transfer
information.
Cost: $50 per person (see registration form on page 27)
Step back into time to a destination teeming with color
and life. Corona Hacienda and Rodeo Grounds capture
the time-honored traditions of Mexico and the Wild West
tucked away in the sleepy shadows of South Mountain.
Here, the enchantment of authentic fiestas and western
barbeques blend with the sights and sounds of a one-of-akind cultural experience.
Once you arrive, you’ll be greeted by the sounds of Old
Mexico as a five-piece Mariachi band plays. Grab a
margarita and ice cold beer and join the festivities. In the
authentic Rodeo Arena you’ll be a part of an unforgettable
rodeo blending the highlights from the traditional fine
horsemanship of a Mexican Rodeo with the rowdy and
boisterous excitement of a Wild West Rodeo. Several
different feats of horsemanship including wild bull riding,
buckin’ broncs, trick roping and precision high-speed horse
maneuvers are a few of the thrilling performances featured.
Of course the night wouldn’t be complete without enjoying
the festive Mexicali cuisine—fajitas, black beans, poblano
chiles, quesadillas, pico de gallo, salsa verde and much,
much, more!
Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind event!

Walk Through History: Walking and Shopping Tour
Through Old Town Scottsdale
Scottsdale is more than a city. It is a work of art, a mysterious combination of sensorial
ingredients with the power to inspire, the new emerging within the old. The heart of
Scottsdale is Old Town, where personality is reflected in old structures, some which date
back to 100 years. The adobe brick Spanish-style Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church
is now home to the Scottsdale Symphony; the Blacksmith Shop is the oldest business in
continuous operation in Scottsdale; and the Little Red School House is the location of
the first public school building, which is now the Scottsdale Historical Museum. There
is a mix of interesting new structures as well that add to the charm of Old Scottsdale: the
award-winning Center for the Arts and Park, City Hall, and the library. Woven between the
notable structures are stores and galleries renown for their Southwestern art, jewelry, and
products. The tour promises to be a delightful afternoon adventure.

Heard Museum and Desert Botanical Garden
This cultural exploration begins with a stop at the Desert Botanical Garden, and offers
more than just an understanding of the extraordinary plants that inhabit the arid regions of
the Earth. Nestled amid the red buttes of Papago Park, the garden hosts one of the world’s
finest collections of desert plants with 139 rare, threatened and endangered plant species.
One of only four botanical gardens accredited by the American Association of Museums,
this one-of-a-kind museum showcases 50 acres of beautiful exhibits.
This tour also includes a visit to the internationally acclaimed Heard Museum. The
Museum has more than 100,000 artifacts in its vast collection. The permanent collection,
“Native Peoples of the Southwest” chronicles 15,000 years of the rich history and cultural
heritage of Native Americans with some of the finest examples of baskets, jewelry, pottery,
and textiles. The traditions of many prehistoric and living tribes are presented in this
award-winning exhibit. The museum also provides contemporary Indian artists with a
wonderful home to display their work.
This tour is an excellent Southwestern experience, which acquaints the visitor with the
diversity of the Sonoran Desert and the resourcefulness of its native people. Comfortable
walking shoes, sunglasses, and sunscreen are recommended for this tour since the
Botanical Gardens’ portion of the tour is outdoors.

An Architect’s Vision
Frank Lloyd Wright was well known for his strong personality and innovative thinking
throughout the world of architecture. At Wright’s original winter camp, Taliesin West,
visitors will see how unique design reflects the character of its surroundings. The desert
dwelling is the home of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and contains the school
of Architecture and Frank Lloyd Wright archives. Wright fully believed in the spiritual
combination of mathematics, music, and architecture as they all require extreme
discipline and gifted ability.
Taliesin West highlights Frank Lloyd Wright’s contributions during his legendary and
inventive career, and during this tour, you will learn many fascinating facts about his
life and his legend. For example, Frank Lloyd Wright was the first architect to design a
banking institution’s “drive up” window for a bank in Phoenix. Directors scoffed at his
idea, indicating that banking was a dignified profession and that patrons would find such
innovation useless, if not demeaning.

Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon
The splendor of Arizona is immediately evident during this scenic tour to the Arizona
Red Rock country. Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon are two of Arizona’s most beautiful
areas. The natural rock formations are nothing short of inspiring. Walt Disney, it is
said, was inspired to build “Sleeping Beauty’s Castle” based on what he saw in the
rocks around Sedona. On the road to Sedona, you’ll stop at Montezuma’s Castle, a
prehistoric cave dwelling built over 700 years ago on the side of a mountain. It was
built by the Sinagua Indians in the 12th and 13th Centuries—a monument to Arizona’s
early inhabitants. You’ll pass the majestic Chapel of the Holy Cross, which is nestled
in the red rocks. Some of the shopping highlights of Sedona include the center called
Tlaquepaque—styled after the Mexican town by the same name—whose shops and
restaurants are a favorite of Sedona visitors, and Main Street, where souvenir, specialty
boutiques, and art galleries abound.
Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs
Just upstream from Sedona, you’ll enter Oak Creek Canyon, considered by many
travelers to be one of the most beautiful canyons in the West. In places, its red walls and
dramatic rock formations reach 2,500 feet above the roadway. Farther up the canyon,
you’ll notice dense forests of fir and pine.
Have you ever visited a fabricator shop and seen first-hand the steps used
to process steel? Schuff International, one of the country’s largest and most
advanced fabrication shops, is opening its doors on Wednesday morning
(April 1) for a close-up look at how steel buildings are fabricated. Among
Schuff’s recent projects are The Palazzo, a 70,000-ton, 7-million-sq-ft
addition to the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas and the Phoenix
Convention Center. While there is no charge for this tour (including
transportation and refreshments), space is limited and attendees must
register in advance (please refer to p. 27 of the registration form). Buses will
leave from the convention center at 9:00 a.m. and return by 12:30 p.m.

The Sonoran Desert
The Sonoran Desert is widely considered the world’s most stunning desert—
and it’s certainly the most diverse. Discover a wide range of thriving plant
and animal life that varies with the changes in elevation and climate. The
desert blooms with a multitude of cacti—including towering saguaros—and
sprays of desert flowers. There’s a great chance you’ll spot creatures such as
coyotes, roadrunners and jackrabbits. Take an early morning hike, cycle the
