February 4, 2025

Hello 2025! To start the new year off right, I thought I would highlight key industry events that we are attending in the first four months of the year. If we’ve learned anything in just a span of 10 or so days, it’s that collaboration, industry events, education and training and beyond are essential not only to our businesses but to our customers.

We’ve seen multiple catastrophic events where our services, expertise and support are needed. Every year, it seems we see more and more natural disasters outside of our day-to-day calls. Gearing up for 2025 and beyond means utilizing our industry events to craft partnerships, collaborations and prepare accordingly based on forecasting and projections and learn from our past lessons, disasters and beyond.

Key events that are upcoming where you can connect with not only our team, but other amazing professionals inside and outside of our industry are:

  1. Storm Restoration Contractor
    • February 4 – 6 in Irving, TX
  2. Winter Break/ Ask Andrew
    • February 18 & 19 in Naples, FL
  3. Gathering of the Eagles
    • February 19 – 21 in Murfreesboro, TN
  4. INTRConnect
    • March 23 – 25 in Los Angeles, CA    
  5. PLRB
    • March 31 – April 2 in Indianapolis, IN
  6. The Experience 
    • April 8 – 10 in Punta Gorda, FL
  7. National Hurricane Conference
    • April 14 – 17 in New Orleans, LA
  8. RIA
    • April 28 – 30 in West Palm, FL

Whether you attend one or all these shows, the opportunity to connect and advance the industry forward is far greater when you’re in attendance. Not only does the industry rely on us, but the people also we serve in our communities do. Not only do we serve as our industry’s first responders, but we’re also our customers saving grace, their peace of mind and most importantly their support system.

I hope to see and connect with you throughout the year, remember I am always here for support, your ideas and collaborations. Do not hesitate to stop me to simply say hi, chat or swap ideas. Together, we make a difference.

Stay safe,

Kayla McGowan
