Attendees at the 2026 International Roofing Expo in Las Vegas did not get the traditional keynote address they’ve been accustomed to for decades. Instead, roughly 2,000 roofing contractors and other industry professionals heard first-hand insights about RC's annual State of the Industry survey data.

Anyone who attended the session or who may have missed it can get another chance to take a deeper dive into the numbers during an exclusive webinar on Wednesday, Feb. 18, at 2 p.m. 

Legal expert Trent Cotney, partner with Adams & Reese, will join Mitch Henderson, of myClearopinioninsightsHub, to provide exclusive perspectives into the latest trends highlighted by the survey responses. Attendees can expect a conversational presentation of the data with insights into provocative questions that emerged from the survey results about the issues impacting roofing contractors around the country.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Roofing’s multi-billion dollar market projections; 
• New technology and trends reshaping the industry; 
• Workforce recruitment and retention strategies;  
• Insurance standards and regulatory updates; 
• Customer expectation shifts that create new business opportunities.

Roofers will also gain invaluable first-hand information about market performance and learn about the most promising opportunities to watch as the industry enters a new and dynamic era.

“People have learned how to live in the chaos,” Cotney said in Las Vegas while referring the technology trends identified in the survey. “That adaptability is one of this industry’s greatest strengths. The contractors who are winning are the ones who can offer what the customer wants — and explain it clearly.”
