February means it’s
the stretch run to Feb. 22-24 when the 2010 International Roofing Expo opens in New Orleans.
Every contractor, distributor,
supplier and manufacturer wants to be more profitability this year, and there
is no one roofing industry event that does it better than the IRE.
For starters, there
will be 850 booths containing the products and services that will help make
your company more profitable. The 350 exhibiting companies offer you an
opportunity to shake hands with the leaders and talk business.
IRE organizers said
the show is unique, in part, because a Product Showcase highlights industry
trends and green products in a non-selling environment.
IRE has something
for everybody. For example, metal roofers can converse at the Metal Marketplace and talk with folks
who supply the metal industry with building designs, tools and services.
Also this year, the
Exhibitor Product Clinics will have live demonstrations by OMG, Soprema and
Equipter.
Of note, and new
this year, those who arrive in New Orleans a day early on Feb. 21 can take part
in Community Service Day, a home renovation and revitalization project that
will be performed for a needy family.
Organizers said a
Power Panel will kick off the first day of the show, while educational programs
will be highlighted during all days of IRE covering technical, workplace safety,
leadership/management, green building, legal/HR, money matters, sales/service
and general business.
So, if you haven’t
already, sign up today for the best roofing industry show in the business. For
