F
or more than 75 years, the MRCA Annual 
Conference & Expo served as the premier 
gathering for the Midwest roofing industry—
bringing together contractors, manufacturers, 
distributors, fabricators, service providers, architects, 
consultants, and other industry professionals from 
across the region.
We are excited to introduce the all-new MRCA 
Leadership Summit, taking place November 18–19, 
2026, at the Westin Cape Coral Resort in Cape 
Coral, Florida—a dynamic conference experience 
designed to connect roofing leaders in a more 
innovative, collaborative, and relationship-focused 
environment.
This is not a traditional trade show.
The MRCA Leadership Summit was intentionally 
designed to bring together the right people—not 
just a lot of people. In an intimate setting, roofing 
contractor leaders and key decision-makers from 
across the Midwest will spend two full days 
together engaging in strategic education, peer-
to-peer networking, leadership development, and 
meaningful business conversations.
For manufacturers, distributors, fabricators, and 
service providers, this creates a unique opportunity to 
build deeper relationships and strengthen connections 
with current and prospective customers in ways that 
traditional expo environments often cannot.
Instead of investing in carpet, booth furnishings, 
shipping cumbersome displays, electrical services, 
elaborate customer dinners, and travel costs for large 
booth personnel teams, the Leadership Summit offers 
a smarter, more impactful way to engage. Invite 
your customers—or future customers—to the full 
Leadership Summit experience and spend quality 
time together in an environment built for conversation 
and collaboration.

valuable brand visibility and recognition, including:

Program Book and Mobile App

In addition to education and exhibits, the Summit

including:
•	 MRCA Foundation Auction

Dinner & Casino Night
•	 Annual Awards Luncheon

Opportunities
Not a golfer? Sponsor a hole and spend the day 
networking with every participant as they pass 
through.
With limited availability, exhibitor and sponsorship 
opportunities are expected to fill quickly.
And while you’re there, bring the family and extend 
your stay. Cape Coral provides the perfect backdrop 
to combine business, networking, and a little well-
earned time away.
We invite you to join us for this exciting new chapter 
of MRCA and secure your place at one of the roofing 
industry’s most valuable leadership events.
