Mike Taylor AWCI President
Dear Colleagues,Please join me for AWCI’s Convention & Intex Expo in fabulous Las Vegas. Why gamble when you can get guaranteed solutions and ideas you can bring back and use right away?
Here are my top four reasons for attending:
1. Take home contacts with new friends—and see old friends. The networking is unparalleled for meeting the top movers and shakers in the wall and ceilings industry.
2. Take home solutions. Exhibitors will provide the latest product and service offerings at the Intex Expo (see page 27).
3. Take home tips for delay claims, lathing and plastering installation, specs, codes and engineering requirements, virtual and augmented reality and much more during professional development sessions on Wednesday and Thursday mornings (see pages 5-9).
4. Take home inspiration and fun at the President’s Reception, Opening Session and Awards Presentation Brunch and at the Celebration Night Dinner (see pages 20 & 21).
New this year is a Solutions Showcase in the trade show on Thursday, March 30 (see page 19), and a Wellness Lounge with massage stations, a water and juice bar, adult coloring books and more to help you relax during your time in the exhibit hall (see page 18). And the “official” AWCI/Intex hangout is the Eye Candy Lounge in the middle of the casino. Eye Candy is open from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. daily and is a great place to catch up with others from our group.
Also, a special prize drawing will be held on the last day of the trade show. Will you be the lucky winner?
I urge you to read through the information, reserve your hotel room and register early for what promises to be an outstanding event.

AWCI’s Convention & Intex Expo4
On a bright, 20-degree afternoon in January 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 accelerated down New York La Guardia Airport’s main runway, loaded with 155 passengers and crew, headed for Charlotte, N.C. Everything was normal until First Officer Jeff Skiles spotted a formation of Canada geese almost directly ahead. In a matter of seconds, he heard numerous thunks as the birds impacted the aircraft. Both engines immediately failed. Captain Chesley Sullenberger took over flying the plane and lowered the nose down to retain airspeed. Within seconds, the pilots made the decision that returning to LaGuardia was simply not possible—they’d have to fly over densely populated areas and there was no guarantee they’d make it. Sur-rounded by nothing but skyscrapers and neighborhoods, they decided to head to the only open, flat space available—the Hudson River. During the general session on March 29, Skiles will detail the lessons, training and scenarios that led to the “Miracle on the Hudson” and what businesses can take away from it.
Meet Jeff Skiles following the Awards Brunch! He will be in USG booth #801 until 1 p.m. The first 50 people to visit USG’s booth will receive a free autographed copy of the DVD “Sully.”

Don’t Let Your Wall Designs Go Up in Smoke! A Look at CFS Framed Wall Limiting Heights while Integrating Fire-Resistant Performance RequirementsOne of the fundamental attributes of a cold-formed steel framed gypsum board partition is its inherent fire-resistive properties. Another attribute is the ability to maintain a project’s critical wall thickness requirement by altering steel stud thickness and spacing. The common tool to accom-plish this task is the published limiting height table. However, like many a design process, there is a balancing act between differing requirements. In this case, it’s the balance between structural capacity and fire resistance. This session will explore the structural principles that are used to develop limiting height tables and define key terms that are often used. Next we will look at what is required to maintain fire resistance with an emphasis on conflicts.
Patrick W. Ford, P.E., is a principal of Matsen Ford Design Associates, Inc., a registered Professional Engi-neer in Wisconsin and in numerous other states, and a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the American Institute of Steel Construction. He has also served as a subcommittee member of the American Iron and Steel Institute as well as AWCI, and is a past presi-dent of the Light Gauge Steel Engineers Institute (now the Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute).
Robert Grupe is the director of technical services for AWCI. He spent more than 38 years with United States Gypsum where he held various technical and manage-ment positions. Activities included product and system design and technical consultation to the AEC community. He currently is a consultant to the construction commu-nity where he has worked on several large scale inter-national construction projects. He has authored numer-ous articles and given presentations on fire, sound and environmental issues as they relate to wall and ceiling assemblies.

AWCI’s Convention & Intex Expo8
Land Mines and Gold Mines in Specifications, Codes and Engineering RequirementsEvery three years, new versions of the building codes are introduced. While some states adopt new codes immediately, others wait, review and often add their own requirements and deletions. Local municipalities will sometimes pile on even more addenda, making a code-compliant as-sembly in one jurisdiction not meet code in another. Keep your company ahead of the engineering and code “learning curve” by making sure you and your staff are up to speed on the latest requirements. Hear case stud-ies about how some contractors have proactively worked with their code enforcement agencies for less painful inspections, and how others have used innovative techniques to get non-traditional materials and methods approved. Attendees will learn why some specification statements are “land mines” and others are “gold mines,” and they will understand the difference between performance specifications and prescriptive specifica-tions and how to use both to their advantage.
With over 25 years of drywall industry experience, Don Allen is director of engineering for Super Stud Building Products, Inc., and chairman of AISI’s Education Com-mittee. Having served over nine years as technical direc-tor for both the Steel Stud Manufacturers Association and the Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute, Allen has seen firsthand how some contractors have thrived and others have failed because of ambiguities and changes in the code. Allen has participated in the development of the International Building Code, and ASTM and American Iron and Steel Institute standards. Allen is a Registered and Board Certified Structural Engineer and a LEED Accredited Professional.

Capitalize on your education! AWCI is offering attendees an opportunity to increase their knowledge by attending a Doing It Right seminar on March 30. These seminars (exterior envelope, gypsum and stucco) were developed for owners and upper and middle management—project managers, foremen and estimators.
7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.Course break from 10 a.m.—1 p.m. for lunch on your own and walking the trade show floor.
Exterior Envelope —Doing It Right®
Gypsum—Doing It Right®
Stucco—Doing It Right®
Your registration for a Doing It Right seminar includes a complimentary trade show pass to visit the Intex Expo on March 29 and 30. Register by Feb. 28, 2017, to receive the Early Bird Discount of $265 for AWCI members and $325 for non-members. Registration fees after Feb. 28, 2017, are $300 for AWCI members and $360 for non-members.
Exterior Envelope—Doing It Right®
Even though energy codes have been in place for several years now, they continue to be a source of confusion to architects and contractors as they design, bid and install exterior walls. The International Energy Conservation Code® has made these exterior wall systems more complex to design and construct. The new code’s continuous insulation requirement combined with ever changing ASTM and ASHRAE construction standards are presenting major design and construct challenges. Today’s architects need to know how to design to meet the IECC requirements. They must also provide solutions when details aren’t always available. This forces contractors to struggle with constructing exterior assemblies with cladding over multiple inches of continuous insulation and highly complex air and water barriers.
This program will clarify the subtle but significant differences between the IECC and ASHRAE 90.1 and how that relates to LEED initiatives. Moisture migration and heat transfer are the fundamental elements that drive the codes and standards, and they too, can be confusing. Codes, standards and building science link to high performance wall systems, which are substantially more sophisticated than what was designed and built just a few years ago. Sophisticated high performing wall systems rely heavily on proper detailing and installation. This course starts with codes and standards, discusses the underlying building sciences, and ends with information for the job site with a goal to make a project successful.

WELCOME TO LAS VEGAS!
Attire SuggestionsBusiness casual attire is appropriate for all functions. For the Celebration Night Dinner on Wednesday, March 29, dinner registrants are encouraged to dress in 1970’s disco attire.
Things to Do in Las Vegas!Las Vegas, an ever-changing fantasy land of a city, has seen unbelievable expansion since it emerged from the desert 100 years ago. For information on everything to do in Las Vegas, visit www.lasvegas.com/activities and vegas.com.
Getting ThereGetting to Las Vegas is easy. Fly directly into the McCarran International Airport (LAS).
Ground Transportation to Mandalay BayTaxi fares are between $24 to $41 each way. Uber fares are between $12 to $30 each way.
Lyft fares are between $11 and $23 each way.
Mandalay Bay charges for parking at the hotel. Rates are $20 per day for self parking and $36 per day for valet parking.
AWCI Convention Mobile AppSponsored by
Go Green! Handouts from AWCI’s Convention will be posted to AWCI’s Convention website and placed on the convention mobile app on or about March 20.

31March 26-30, 2017 • Las Vegas, Nevada
AccommodationsThe official headquarters hotel and exclusive location for AWCI’s Convention & Intex Expo is Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, 3950 Las Vegas Blvd. South. AWCI and Intex Expo attendees are extended special single or double occupancy group rates as shown below plus tax and resort fee:
WELCOME TO LAS VEGAS!
*Plus a $23 Daily Resort Fee (discounted from the usual $33 per night). The resort fee includes high speed wireless internet service in guestroom and public areas, Cardio Center access located on the Beach Level, daily newspaper, unlimited local and 800-number calls, outgoing faxes, notary services and airline boarding pass printing at the business center desks or Concierge. You may opt-out of the resort fee when you check-in, but if Internet access is needed after opting out, the connection fee will be much higher than $23 per day.
Beware any outside calls, emails or faxes you may receive for “dis-counted” rates for Las Vegas hotels. AWCI does not use a housing com-pany for room reservations. These calls are often scams that could result in your credit card information being compromised and no hotel room being reserved.
Monday, March 6, is the cut-off date for room reservations, or earlier if the block of rooms sells out sooner. Reserve your room early online at awci.org/convention/hotel-travel. For questions regarding your reservation, please call (877) 632.9001 for assistance. Indicate you are with AWCI or Intex Expo to get group rates. Please ensure cancellations are made at least 48 hours prior to your scheduled arrival date in order to not be charged one night’s room and tax. If you depart earlier than your booked departure date, the hotel will charge a one night room and tax penalty.
All guaranteed reservations that fail to arrive on the scheduled arrival date will be considered no shows and a charge of one night’s room and tax will be posted to the credit card on file.
