The Western States Roofing Contractors Association (WSRCA) celebrated its 50th anniversary during the annual Western Roofing Expo September 30-October 1. The event marked 50 years of service to the roofing industry. Focusing on the specific needs that roofing and waterproofing contractors face in the West, the trade show featured educational sessions, networking events, seminars, and a filled expo floor; contractors could even walk the expo floor for free. One of the fun elements of the vent is the Roofing Games™. The Roofing Games, sponsored by Malarkey Roofing Products®, is a steep-slope nailing competition. Roofers compete against one another by installing a Malarkey Roofing Products® roofing systems on a small deck. Competitors are judged on accuracy, aesthetics, speed and workmanship. 

The 2024 WRE was well attended by fully engaged roofing professionals. Overall, exhibitors said they were very pleased with the turnout and the worthwhile conversations they had. 

One exhibitor reported he was told 4,000 attendees pre-registered for the event, and another 500 registered the opening day of the show. Those in attendance networked with peers and socialized with old friends while learning about industry trends and new products.
