Taking place Feb. 16-18, 2011, in the North Halls at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nev., the show will offer roofing contractors, builders, remodelers, building owners, facility managers, and architects a comprehensive preview of the roofing construction and maintenance marketplace.

“Exceeding our most optimistic projections, we saw a 10 percent increase in booths assigned during Space Draw,” said Donna Bellantone, Director of the Expo. “Attendees should really be energized by the impressive list of companies assigned to 71,500 net square feet of exhibits.” Making up the 263 companies who have reserved space are key manufacturers and distributors such as ABC Supply Co., CertainTeed, GAF, Firestone Building Products, Johns Manville Roofing Systems, OMG Roofing Products, Owens Corning, Soprema, 3M Industrial Mineral Products Division and Georgia Pacific, to name a few.

Participating in Space Draw for the first time included companies such as Palfinger North America, Super Anchor Safety, Domestic Bank Home Improvement Lending, EcoStar LLC, Franklin International, Hot Edge, Ski Slope Gutter Mesh, Lucas Granules, Master Pack, Marco Plastics Skylites, Roofing Contractor Marketing, Roof Barrier, SRS Energy and Steelscape.

“It is a testament to the strength of the show and the industry that so many companies made an early and decisive commitment to exhibit,” said Bill Good, Executive Vice President of NRCA, the show’s official sponsor. “The exhibitors' enthusiasm and confidence brings a positive energy to the show.”
