Buyer Beware

There is only one official housing provider for NASCC: The Steel Conference, which is MCI USA. AISC does not have influence over or responsibility for any reservations made through a housing company or group other than The Steel Conference Housing/ MCI USA. In recent years, a number of participants have informed AISC of housing solicitations (often fraudulent) from groups with no affiliation with The Steel Conference. We encourage you to book your reservations through MCI USA and avoid providing information to the following companies:
