The International Roofing Expo (IRE) made a triumphant return to New Orleans last month, drawing thousands of roofing contractors, vendors, consultants and industry innovators from across the globe.
Preliminary attendance numbers exceeded 10,000 attendees, which represents a significant increase over the last time the IRE visited the Big Easy in 2015. Also notable this year was a large number of first-time registrants at the show, officials said.
