MYS Case Study: NASCC: The Steel Conference
by Thembela Mavuso on January 26, 2026
Scaling Exhibit Booth Sales with Trade Show Management Software
NASCC: The Steel Conference is the premier event for everyone involved in the design and construction of steel buildings and bridges. The conference features more than 280 technical sessions; an exhibition hall showcasing over 300 products and services; and the opportunity to network with more than 6,500 steel industry colleagues. The event also incorporates the World Steel Bridge Symposium, QualityCon, the NISD Conference on Steel Detailing, SafetyCon, Architecture in Steel, and SSRC's Annual Stability Conference.
Overview
After experiencing significant post-pandemic growth, The Steel Conference partnered with Map Your Show (MYS) to manage it’s booth sales, assignments, and exhibit hall logistics. With the help of MYS’s Booth Sales module, the show was able to streamline operations and elevate it’s
exhibitor experience. By switching to MYS The Steel Conference experienced faster booth sales, customizable floor plan management, and improved reporting, ultimately enabling the show to scale.
The Challenge
For six years, The Steel Conference used a competitor exhibit sales program. Due to staffing changes and a reassignment to an inexperienced
product support manager, show management experienced major setbacks days before the conference was scheduled to open.
Combined with no meaningful follow-up post show and a system that lacked the flexibility needed to scale, The Steel Conference recognized they needed a new solution.
