The 2023 International Restoration Convention & Industry Expo is fast approaching! If you haven’t already done so register for the convention, and make your hotel reservations now for the industry’s premier event taking place April 24-26 at Rosen Shingle Creek in sunny Orlando, Florida.

Hosted by the Restoration Industry Association (RIA), the theme of the 77th Annual Convention & Industry Expo is “Restoration Beautiful,” which reflects not only the skill but the incredible artistry of restoration professionals that bring damaged buildings and contents back to life! 

This is a must-attend event that brings together restoration and reconstruction professionals and vendors for networking, education, and discussion of the latest industry trends. And this year looks to be one of our most exciting yet with new social and educational events added to the schedule!

With more than 800 participants, last year’s conference broke records and was full of invigorating discussions about the industry that left attendees feeling informed, connected, and reenergized. But you don’t need to take our word for it! 2022 conference participants indicated they would be “very likely” to recommend the International Restoration & Industry Expo to another restoration professional. Here’s a sample of what attendees had to say: 

  • “Great for networking and staying up to date with industry trends.” - Joe Gillikin, AdvantaClean
  • “You get to learn from the best minds in the industry!” - Rodney Lynch, Rainbow Restoration
  • "We found out information that will make us significantly more profitable." - Rebecca Jones, EC Construction
