Industry Events: Where Restoration Leaders Connect
Your Hub for Advocacy, Education, and Community
The restoration industry doesn't move forward in a vacuum. It progresses when professionals step away from the truck and the desk to share insights, solve systemic challenges, and sharpen their craft.
The RIA is committed to being present where the most important conversations are happening. This page serves as your roadmap to the events we host, the sessions we lead, and the industry gatherings we support across the globe. Whether we are fighting for fair claims settlement at an AGA workshop or celebrating technical mastery at our annual convention, this is where you can find us.

Our Advocacy and Government Affairs (AGA) events are designed for those who want to stay on the front lines of industry change. These regional gatherings focus on advocacy topics and educational topics we design for you with our host companies.
