Constructionshows
The Canadian Roofing Expo (CRE), formerly known as ROOFTech, serves as Canada’s premier dedicated trade show and major educational forum for the roofing community, construction, and property management industries. This important biennial exposition is specifically designed by the roofing industry to deliver a comprehensive, hands-on educational experience for architects, building inspectors, engineers, contractors, property managers, roofing consultants, and specifiers. Attendees consistently find value in staying apprised of cutting-edge roofing systems, building envelope solutions, and the latest technologies impacting the industry.
As the country’s central gathering point, CRE brings together more than 150 exhibitors, showcasing state-of-the-art products and services for new construction, re-roofing, renovation, retrofit, and maintenance applications. This is the ideal place to source products and solutions from leading suppliers across both Canada and the U.S. You can save valuable time by reviewing all the major roofing components and services in a single location, while meeting technical experts who provide factual advice and solutions to complex problems.
The educational component is robust, featuring extensive seminar schedules, insightful panels, and technical sessions led by industry professionals. Topics covered include best practices for green roofing, sustainable roof construction, roof maintenance, asset management, and adapting to climate change. A key draw is the live demonstrations, allowing attendees to observe the actual installation and assembly of various roofing systems, such as steep slope, low slope, EPDM, and liquid applied membranes, offering practical knowledge.
Jointly produced by the Canadian Roofing Contractors’ Association (CRCA), Informa Connect, and the Ontario Industrial Roofing Contractors Association, CRE is essential for professional development. It offers unmatched opportunities to network with colleagues, exchange ideas, and gather the tools and knowledge necessary to grow and succeed within the Canadian roofing sector.
