AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – IKO, a worldwide leader in the roofing, waterproofing and insulation industries for residential and commercial markets, is thrilled to announce the outstanding success of its recent Profit Power events. Hosted at minor league ballparks, these events offered a unique and memorable setting. On October 29, the event took place at Riders Field, home of the Frisco RoughRiders, in Charlotte, NC, followed by Dell Diamond, home of the Round Rock Express, in Austin, TX, on November 7. These were the final two of six events held in 2024. With nearly 200 roofing professionals, industry experts, and thought leaders in attendance at each event, the atmosphere was electric.
“IKO’s Profit Power events provide practical tips and guidance that roofing businesses can easily implement,” said Jack Gottesman, marketing services and loyalty program group director at IKO North America. “The discussions, real-world insights, and actionable strategies shared during these events are designed to help ROOFPRO members stay ahead, innovate, and elevate their businesses. We are immensely thankful to our amazing speakers who brought their A-game and made these events as exciting as they were insightful.”
Designed to create a perfect blend of networking, learning, and fun, these events offer a relaxed environment where roofing professionals can engage directly with industry experts, ask questions, and share experiences. Both the Austin and Charlotte events featured a dynamic line up of speakers who shared practical solutions to today’s challenges. At both the locations, attendees herd from Dmitry Lipinskiy (Owner, Roofing Insights & Directorii), Donavan Morgan (Founder & CEO, Roofs By Don & The Roof Gallery), and Daniel Filippelli (Co-Owner, Roofs By Don & Goats4Sales).
