The Midwest Roofing Contractors Association (MRCA) was hitting on all cylinders in Indianapolis at its annual conference and trade show. More than 800 attendees were on hand for MRCA’s 61st Annual Conference, held Oct. 27-29, 2010 at the Indiana Convention Center. In addition to a bustling trade show floor and more than 40 hours of educational programming, the event also featured hands-on demonstrations, a TPO welding competition, and a scavenger hunt that qualified attendees for a chance to enter a “Money Machine” and grab some cash. In keeping with the location, the show floor also featured its own mini Brickyard, where attendees raced remote controlled cars on a high-banked track.
The event was preceded by a golf outing at Brickyard Crossing and a welcome reception in the Westin Hotel Grand Ballroom with live music provided by Naked Sundays, a rock band led by the association’s incoming president, Jim Ramser.
