We've pulled together six conferences worth tracking if you work in roofing, concrete, mechanical systems, or general contracting. Las Vegas anchors the season, hosting the NRCA Annual Convention alongside the International Roofing Expo in late January, then running straight into the AHR Expo and ASHRAE Winter Conference in early February. Salt Lake City adds the AGC of Utah Annual Convention at the end of January. For operators in the region, the timing is practical. Several of these events stack within days of each other, which makes combining trips feasible. If your pipeline involves roofing contractors, HVAC subs, or concrete suppliers, this stretch of the calendar is one of the more concentrated windows for face-to-face meetings before spring project cycles kick off.
