FRSA's Trade Show is NOW
the Florida Roofing & Sheet Metal Expo!
FRSA's trade show, the Florida Roofing & Sheet Metal Expo, 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 88th year at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort & Convention Center in Orlando.

Already this year, there are 99 exhibitors reserving 218 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.
