The International Roofing Expo (IRE) 2026 has extended their call for presentations through May 27, 2025.

Industry professionals are invited to share their expertise at the 2026 International Roofing Expo (IRE), the premier event for roofing and exterior contractors. Set for January 20–22, 2026 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. IRE offers a platform to educate and inspire roofing professionals while building your reputation as an industry leader.

The IRE education program will feature 45 sessions, each 60 minutes long, focused on practical solutions that can be implemented immediately in the workplace. Presenters are encouraged to turn their experiences into real-world sessions that address current industry challenges and help professionals grow their businesses.

The audience includes roofing contractors, engineers, consultants, building owners, project managers, manufacturers and other construction leaders. Educational tracks span a wide range of topics including sustainability, sales, safety, leadership, legal issues, finance, technical innovation and topics relevant to the Latino workforce.

Ideal proposals will deliver how-to content that offers attendees new skills or technologies they can use right away. Sessions should be relevant, forward-thinking and tailored specifically for roofing professionals. IRE is seeking experienced speakers who offer strong presentation skills and deep subject knowledge.

This is an opportunity to be part of improving the industry by contributing valuable insights and strategies. Share your solutions, spark innovation and help drive change in one of the most vital sectors of construction. Submit your topic proposal and biography today to be part of IRE 2026 as a speaker and make a lasting impact.

Final acceptance will be based on (but not limited to) the course’s ability to meet submission standards, overall program and track specification and industry need. Additionally, the IRE Advisory Committee — made up of NRCA staff, Informa Markets representatives, industry leaders and editors — will review the proposed topics for relevancy and industry feedback. All approved courses will be submitted for continuing education and will require syllabus handouts for attendees. Please note that vendors must be exhibitors in the show to be considered for a presentation.

The deadline for returning your submission for consideration has been extended to May 27, 2025.
