About the Conference

Every year, Iron Workers and IMPACT bring together local union leadership, contractors, apprenticeship coordinators, and training instructors from across North America to strengthen the partnership that keeps our industry skilled, safe, and competitive.

The 2027 conference continues that tradition in New Orleans, focusing on the programs, standards, and shared investment that connect training on the ground to safety outcomes on every job site — from apprenticeship curriculum updates to fall protection, welding certification, and rigging best practices.
