Trade Show Information

FRSA's trade show, the Southeast Roofing and Sheet Metal Spectacular is the second largest show of its kind in the country. The trade show is held in conjunction with FRSA's annual convention, and this year the Association will celebrate its 87th year at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.

Last year, more than 2,200 roofing and sheet metal contractors, building officials, architects and industry suppliers attended the show with 401 booths and 247 different exhibiting companies, which offered the latest in products and services to the industry. Already this year, there are 146 exhibitors reserving 273 booths.

The show runs for 10.5 conflict-free hours, encouraging maximum participation over the three day period. Each year the reviews continue to give high praise to the show, from both attendees and exhibitors.

Booths sell for $1,225 each for an 10' x 10' space. FRSA members receive discounts, and there are discounts for multiple booth sales. Space is limited and provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
