Must-Sees at the 2025 International Roofing ExpoMust-Sees at the 2025 International Roofing Expo

The International Roofing Expo is just over a month away, so it's time to start planning how to make the most of your show experience.

Held this year Feb. 19-21 at the Henry B. González Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas, IRE 2025 continues to prioritize community, a cornerstone of the roofing industry. Recognizing the Hispanic community's significant contributions to the roofing industry, IRE will launch its Hispanic Contractor Clinic, featuring bilingual conference sessions, Spanish-translated content and partnerships with leading organizations and individuals.

IRE also returns with the 16th Annual Community Service Day, held Feb. 18 in partnership with Rebuilding Together. The initiative brings together roofing professionals to make critical home repairs for local families in need. Attendees can volunteer with, donate to or share the project to support the local San Antonio community.

The show floor will feature the latest materials and technologies driving eco-forward practices, alongside programs like on-site recycling, an exhibitor sustainability contest and donations of event materials to local organizations. Additionally, the 2025 Innovative Products Showcase and Awards Program will highlight tools, materials and services that address the growing demand of the industry and will offer exhibitors and attendees the chance to explore advancements in products.

"IRE is designed to equip professionals with the tools, insights, skills and connections they need to thrive in the shifting market, while also supporting the industry's critical role in building safer, more durable and energy-efficient structures."
