Important Lessons I've Learned During The Past 40 Years [K2]

What do you think of when you hear the name Duane Miller? If you've been to a previous NASCC: The Steel Conference, you probably know him as the top-rated speaker almost every year for the past two decades. If you've ever had a welding problem, you probably know him as the nation's leading authority on structural welding. (Or as structural engineer Kim Robinson once said: "I love welding, and Duane Miller is the one and only, the big cheese of welding.") Or you might know him as a recipient of not only an AISC T.R. Higgins Lectureship Award and an AISC Lifetime Achievement Award, but also a Robert P. Stupp Award for Excellence in Leadership (the only person to have won all three!). And he's also the inaugural recipient of the AISC/NASCC Speaker Award, which honors the greatest speakers at AISC events. His keynote address will cover a multitude of topics, ranging from the value of mentorship (both as a mentor and as a mentee of the renowned Omer Blodgett), leadership principles (there are three), welding and welded connections, steel and steel behavior, life lessons, troubleshooting and developing customers for life.
