Convention Information
FRSA'S ANNUAL CONVENTION
FRSA celebrates it's 88th annual trade show and convention
"Victory Through Unity"
June 16-19, 2010
Rosen Shingle Creek Resort & Convention Center
Orlando, FL
The convention consists of four full days of education, networking, family fun, sports, friends and FRSA's highly recognized trade show, the Florida Roofing & Sheet Metal Expo.
Attendees can find something for everyone, beginning with the sporting events on Wednesday, which include golf, bowling and a catch-and-release fishing tournament.
The next three days are packed with informative and interesting educational seminars, geared toward the roofing and sheet metal industries. Contractors can obtain valuable C. E. (continuing education) credits needed to keep an active license in Florida. Join us for our Kick-Off Luncheon, and then help us officially open the trade show. The trade show will be open for 10.5 hours, over three days, enabling attendees maximum scheduling flexibility.
On Friday, the education continues with more top name speakers, and is followed by the FRSA Business Luncheon. The trade show opens after the luncheon, and closes at 5:00 pm, enabling attendees and exhibitors time to regroup before heading to the Friday Night Party. This has historically been a sold-out event, so don't delay in making your reservations! Tickets for this event, if available, can be purchased at the FRSA Registration Desk.
Saturday continues with more educational seminars and a seminar specifically formatted for your foremen and superintendent. Bring the crew and let FRSA educate them for free. After the seminar, they can go through the trade show for free, learning about new products and services for the industry.
Saturday evening features our gala annual Banquet and Reception, where the new FRSA officers are installed. Dinner, entertainment and an awards presentation are sure to capture the night. So be sure to make your plans now to attend - you won't want to miss out on all this fun!
