Save the date for January 15-17, 2020!  The Chicago Roofing Contractors Association (CRCA) will be hosting the 37th annual CRCA Tradeshow and Seminars at Drury Lane Conference Center in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois.  Since 1983, CRCA has worked hard to help roofers and waterproofers expand their knowledge in technology, safety, product, and service enhancements.  

This three-day event provides a professional learning environment with demonstrations, educational seminars, and new products.  Whether you’re a roofing and waterproofing contractor, architect, specifier, roof consultant, or building official, everyone will find something of interest at the CRCA Tradeshow and Seminars.

The show opens Wednesday, January 15 with seminars on mentorship and marketing.  End the day with the Roofing Week in Chicago Kick-Off Welcome Reception. On Thursday you won’t want to miss the popular Roofing Industry Breakfast.  Make sure you pre-register to secure your spot!

Seminars on Thursday and Friday will touch on: steep slope safety, building envelope discussions, crisis management, safety, talent acquisition, dealing with the new cannabis laws, and roofing technical issues.  

In the exhibit hall, you’ll have access to over 150 manufacturers and suppliers that will be showcasing the newest roofing and waterproofing products and technologies.  On Thursday afternoon and Friday, the exhibit hall and seminars are all FREE!  

“The CRCA Trade Show Committee’s goal is to offer educational resources for attendees to develop top-level practices which will ultimately provide building owners and managers the best roofing, waterproofing, insulation and air barrier installation that can be found,” shared Mark Duffy, 2020 CRCA President.  

Not only does the CRCA Tradeshow and Seminars provide industry-specific education to attendees, but it also, “provides continuing education learning units for attendees to maintain professional certification,” according to Mark Duffy.
