The construction rollforming industry continues to evolve at a rapid pace. New equipment, automation, software, coil and coating technologies, and production methods can change the way you do business. Keeping up with those changes isn’t always easy—but that’s exactly why the Construction Rollforming Show exists.

On September 16-17, we’ll gather in beautiful Gatlinburg, Tennessee, for the only trade show dedicated exclusively to construction roll forming. (It’s my first visit to this destination so I’m really excited for this year’s event.) Unlike broad construction expos, every educational session, exhibitor, and networking opportunity is focused on the needs of companies that manufacture metal roofing panels, trim, gutters, post-frame components, tubing, and other light-gauge steel products. In other words: It’s all focused on YOUR needs.

One of the greatest benefits of attending is the opportunity to have meaningful conversations with people who understand your business. Whether you’re looking for ways to improve production efficiency, reduce downtime, evaluate new equipment, explore automation, or discover new products, you’ll find suppliers and fellow manufacturers who are eager to share ideas and solutions. Many of the industry’s leading companies will be there, making it possible to compare technologies side by side and ask questions directly to the experts.

Equally valuable are the relationships you’ll build. Time and again, attendees tell us the conversations they have in the aisles, during educational sessions, and at networking events provide ideas that continue paying dividends long after the show ends.

If your goal is to strengthen your business, improve your operation, and stay ahead of industry trends, I encourage you to join us in Gatlinburg. I look forward to meeting you, hearing about your business, and helping make this year’s Construction Rollforming Show our best one yet.

In other matters, we’re currently putting the finishing touches on the 2027 editorial calendar. However, that doesn’t mean you still can’t have a say in the articles that will show up in next year’s editions. Feel free to give me a call (715-952-1633) or drop me a line at any time with your article feedback and suggestion. I’m always looking for interesting and helpful stories to tell.
