Book your hotel for METALCON 2025

MCI is METALCON’s only official hotel partner.

Beware of imposters! We have been informed that other companies have aggressively pursued METALCON attendees/exhibitors/partners or their companies to use their services to book guest rooms at supposedly significant discounts. Unfortunately, in the past these have been reported as scams made through non-official housing sources.

If someone contacts you offering discounted hotel rooms outside of MCI, they are NOT in any way affiliated or endorsed by METALCON show management.
