VIDEO: IRE 2024 'Early Preview'

Show organizers expect big things as this year’s International Roofing Expo returns to Las Vegas in ‘super’ fashion

The International Roofing Expo, the world's largest trade show for roofing contractors and manufacturers of roof system products, returns to Las Vegas Feb. 6-8, 2024, marking the first time IRE overtakes 'Sin City' since the world emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Show planners with Informa Markets say the roofing industry is poised for a 'memorable experience' following last year’s record-setting show in Dallas, and they expect much more traction than the industry felt during 2021's summertime IRE event.

“One of our big initiatives this year is on the exteriors category,” said Show Director Rich Russo of Informa Markets, the firm executing the expo's logistics, “As the industry continues to shift, roofing contractors have needed to supply more products and services to their customers and the natural evolution has been in exteriors.”

Russo said the show would offer "double the amount of space and content" related to exteriors at the Las Vegas Convention Center than its inaugural debut last year; that’s a lot of territory for siding, gutters, doors and windows.
