We are excited to announce that registration is now open for our CFA 100th Anniversary Celebration, a milestone event honoring a century of craftsmanship, innovation, and leadership in the steel fabrication industry. Join us as we bring together CFA members, sponsors, and partners from across the country for a weekend of connection, reflection, and celebration. From networking opportunities and shared experiences to a formal gala commemorating 100 years of impact, this event is designed to recognize the people and companies who have helped shape our industry. The celebration will be held at the JW Marriott Camelback Inn in Scottsdale, Arizona from October 9 through October 11, 2026. Set against the backdrop of the Sonoran Desert, this destination provides the perfect setting to celebrate where we’ve been and where we’re going next.

CFA has secured a dedicated room block at the JW Marriott Camelback Inn . We strongly encourage attendees to reserve early, as availability within the room block is limited. Once the block is full, additional accommodations may need to be made outside of the host hotel. All attendees, including gala guests and sponsor participants, are responsible for making their own hotel reservations. CFA will not be booking rooms on behalf of attendees. How to Book All room reservations must be made directly through the CFA-exclusive hotel portal. The portal supports reservations with arrivals beginning Thursday, October 8 and departures through Sunday, October 11. If you plan to stay outside of these dates, the portal will not accommodate your reservation. In that case, please contact Julie Metsker and she will forward that to the hotel for their assistance. |
