PHOTO GALLERY: FRSA 103rd Convention & Expo

By Chris Gray, Jill Bloom, Executive Director, Roofing Contractor

The Florida Roofing & Sheet Metal Association hosted its 103rd annual Convention & Expo, bringing in hundreds of attendees to the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Kissimmee, Fla., June 4-6 to break previous attendance records.

More than 240 companies displayed the latest products and services during the show, all while events like a business luncheon, a casino party and sports tournaments offered plenty of opportunities for networking and fun. In addition, each day of the expo provided educational seminars touching on everything from licensing issues and safety to metal roofing and recruiting and retention. The FRSA also honored contractors who go above and beyond with its annual S.T.A.R. (Spotlight Trophy for the Advancement of Roofing) Awards.

RC was on site to cover the event and captured some fun moments along the way. Enjoy just a few of the images from this year's expo.
