The anticipation was real, and palpable. Shortly after Informa Markets concluded its virtual International Roofing Expo in March and announced the Aug. 10-12 dates for an in-person IRE, the roofing industry responded strongly. The site of the show, Mandalay Bay, sold out quickly, and the buzz about the industry's largest show in North America returning to Las Vegas for the first time since 2017 started to build a lot of momentum.
“We have heard from contractors, builders and manufacturers, and there is pent up demand for reconnecting in-person. They are looking forward to attending the International Roofing Expo, and so are we,” said Reid Ribble, CEO of the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA).
