2026 SMACNA Fab Forum

Get ready for the 2026 SMACNA Fab Forum in Rosemont, IL! Join us on April 12-14, 2026, for an event that will enhance your shop fabrication expertise.

Following last year’s sold-out success, join us for an exclusive tour hosted by The Hill Group. The Hill Group is one of the nation's premiere full-service mechanical contracting organizations dedicated to building occupancy comfort and safety and consistently ranks among the nation’s largest sheet metal contractors by Engineering News Record magazine. Witness firsthand a glimpse of the 26-acre, state-of-the-art campus during our walk-through of the 104,000 SF Prefabrication Shop and 80,000 SF Modular Construction Space.

Our much-anticipated off-site event will be held at the iconic Pete’s Dueling Piano Bar. This event provides the perfect mix of conversation and fun — you'll be in great company while enjoying a high-energy sing-along party at this unique venue.

Don’t miss this unparalleled opportunity to enhance your knowledge, expand your network, and stay ahead of the curve in shop fabrication.

Helpful tip: During check-out, a pop-up box will appear where you enter your credit card information. Click the green "make a payment" button, once the payment process is complete, click the red "complete payment" button to finish your registration. You will then see a confirmation screen and will receive an email shortly which will include any guests you added.

With this new system, there are a few changes to the registration and hotel booking process.

1. All registrants will book their hotel rooms directly with the Hyatt Regency O'Hare Chicago using the SMACNA room block. The registration confirmation email you will receive has the link to book your hotel. Here is that hotel registration link if you cannot find it on the email.
2. Group registration is being developed but is not yet functional. For Fab Forum 2026, individuals will need to register themselves.
