Explore the premier regional roofing and waterproofing event in the U.S.

By Emma Peterson. 

The 2025 Western Roofing Expo is happening this September in Vegas and we want to see you there! 

The Western States Roofing Contractors Association (WSRCA) has been supporting contractors with the most comprehensive and up-to-date information relevant to roofing and waterproofing since the 1970s. Today, they continue to pursue their mission of ensuring that industry professionals have the knowledge and tools they need to succeed through a variety of programs and offerings. One of the biggest initiatives is the Western Roofing Expo (WRE).  

WRE is an incredible event (happening September 28 to 30, 2025) that boasts a two-day trade show, 28 education sessions and countless networking opportunities! This is your chance to learn from industry leaders like John Kenney of Cotney Consulting Group, Trent Cotney from Adams & Reese (also the WSRCA legal advisor), Wade Shepherd of Westlake Royal Building Products and Amparo Sancen from Latinos En Roofing.  

This year’s show will also feature two unique luncheons with keynote speakers. The first is the legislative luncheon on Monday, September 29. At it, Craig Brightup (CEO of The Brightup Group LLC and WSRCA political correspondent) and McKay Daniels (NRCA’s CEO since 2022) will share insights on legislation affecting the industry. Then, on Tuesday, September 30, Mike Schlappi will be the keynote speaker for the annual luncheon! The talk, which is sponsored by Malarkey Roofing Products, is sure to be inspirational and energizing as Mike challenges “individuals of all ages and walks of life, that you can take response-ability and be empowered despite difficult circumstances.” 

Overall, there is no better place to be this September if you are looking to advance your industry knowledge and connections. The Coffee Shops™ crew will be hanging out in the lobby and we want to see you there! That’s why we are giving away five (5) full registrations for WRE 2025! This registration includes two days of the trade show, access to the education sessions and inclusion in unbeatable networking opportunities like The Roofing Games™ and the sports tournaments (golf and clay shooting). Winners will also be interviewed live while at the show! Travel and hotel are not included in this. 

Make sure to enter for the chance to win a ticket to WRE 2025 before August 18, 2025. Winners will be announced on August 27, 2025 during the Weekly Blend.
