LAS VEGAS — The numbers for 2010’s METALCON International were up from the year before — and in this economy, that made organizers pretty happy.
Official figures peg attendees at 5,445, representing contractors, fabricators and suppliers from 50 countries. About 300 companies exhibited during the Oct. 20-22, 2010, trade show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. And that was enough to please show director Claire Kilcoyne.
