Training will focus on proper detailing and utilization of the right tools to enhance the skills of contractors, remodelers and others, enabling them to deliver their best, most efficient and cleanest work when installing various metal roof offerings and systems.

Also new this year is a Mergers & Acquisitions Essentials Workshop presented by PSMJ Resources Inc., expert Karl Wolker.
