IRE 2025 Early Preview

Rich Russo, show director of the International Roofing Expo, Danielle Griffin, Show Marketing Director and Brandy McElhaney, Senior Conference Manger, join RC Group Publisher Jill Bloom for an exclusive early look at what roofing contractors and other industry professionals can look forward to at IRE 2025, Feb. 19-21, 2025 in San Antonio. Check out the full conversation here.

“We’re sold out and have no more booth space, so we’re actually kind of trying to squeeze some booth in here and there,” said Show Director Rich Russo, of Informa Markets, “But it’s going to be jammed packed with products, exhibitors, service providers and attendees.”

Russo said the show will offer more networking opportunities in addition to highlighting the innovation occurring in several segments of roofing. Enhancements include some tabletop discussions with experts, five live demonstration stages across the show floor, and, for the first time, an appointment setting via the IRE 2025 mobile app.
