The International Roofing Expo is the big general roofing trade show in North America, produced by Informa Markets and co-located with the National Roofing Contractors Association’s annual convention. It covers every roofing system, residential and commercial, and the products, equipment, software and services that go with them.
The 2028 show moves to New Orleans. NRCA’s events calendar lists its 141st Annual Convention and the International Roofing Expo for February 1 to 3, 2028, in New Orleans, Louisiana. The expo’s own site was still promoting the 2027 Las Vegas show when we checked, so the venue and hours are not posted yet. We will add them when they are.
Who goes: roofing contractors of every kind, from residential shingle and metal installers to commercial low-slope crews, plus distributors, manufacturers, equipment and software vendors, and the insurance and safety companies that serve the trade.
What a metal roofer or fabricator gets out of it: the same thing as in 2027, the whole roofing trade under one roof, with the NRCA education program alongside. For Gulf Coast contractors in Texas and Louisiana, New Orleans is a far shorter trip than Las Vegas. Our page on the 2027 International Roofing Expo explains the show in more detail, and the trade show calendar lists everything in between.
The expo’s official site is theroofingexpo.com, and NRCA’s calendar is at nrca.net.
