Eighty-seven percent of the available space for the 2011 International Roofing Expo has already been assigned, organizers announced.

The bookings took place during the annual “space draw” held by show organizers Hanley Wood LLC.

“Exceeding our most optimistic projections, we saw a 10 percent increase in booths assigned during space draw,” said show director Donna Bellantone. “Attendees should really be energized by the impressive list of companies assigned to 71,500 net square feet of exhibits.”

“It is a testament to the strength of the show and the industry that so many companies made an early and decisive commitment to exhibit,” said Bill Good, executive vice president of the National Roofing Contractors Association, the show’s official sponsor.  “The exhibitors' enthusiasm and confidence brings a positive energy to the show.”
