IRE's Las Vegas Expo Deemed Unequivocal Success With 15,000 Attendees
Las Vegas, NV / ACCESSWIRE — The International Roofing Expo (IRE) in Las Vegas achieved "unprecedented success and solidified its position as the premier platform for advancements in the
roofing and exteriors industries," said the IRE's official post-show release. "With 15,000 industry professionals in
attendance, the three-day event showcased the strength and unity of the
industry, surpassing all expectations."
Spanning over 200,000
square feet of exhibition and show floor educational space, IRE hosted
close to 600 leading international and domestic suppliers and
manufacturers, with 167 companies making a debut appearance. The three-day event showcased cutting-edge technology, products and services,
and exhibitors delivered immersive demonstrations and hands-on experiences
directly on the show floor.
"This
year's expo was nothing short of exceptional, exceeding our
expectations in every way. With packed exhibit halls, standing-room-only
keynote sessions, and an overwhelming enthusiasm to learn and connect,
IRE has solidified itself as the most impactful event in the roofing and
exteriors industries," states Rich Russo, Show Director of International Roofing Expo.
"The consistent growth in attendance and engagement year after year is a
testament to the industry's dedication and our commitment to delivering
indispensable tools that drive progress and cultivate skill
development."
In addition to the exhibition, IRE provided an
extensive range of educational opportunities, offering more than 45
sessions on cutting-edge topics, such as artificial intelligence,
sustainable materials and solar energy, rebuilding and regulatory
changes affecting the industry. The significant increase in conference
participation reflects the industry's overwhelming demand for knowledge
and innovation.
IRE
2024 also embraced inclusivity and diversity throughout the event. To
ensure a welcoming environment for Hispanic contractors, initiatives
such as bilingual signage, staff and dedicated information kiosks were
implemented. The engagement and appreciation from Hispanic contractors
underscored IRE's commitment to becoming the leading marketplace for the
roofing and exteriors industry's Hispanic community.
Recognizing
the need to explore new trends and opportunities, IRE continues to
emphasize the Exteriors category, featuring renowned brands such as
GutterFoam, James Hardie, LP SmartSide Trim & Siding, Tesla Energy,
Velux and Tando Composites. Catering to contractors and roofing
professionals, the pavilion provided valuable tools and insights to
diversify into new verticals. Complemented by dedicated clinics and
education areas, participants remained informed about the latest trends
in siding, exterior trim, windows and doors.
Looking ahead, IRE is
excited to announce that the International Roofing Expo 2025 will take
place at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas,
