The IICRC will hold its third-annual 2018 Technical Conference Sept. 27-28, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The theme for this year’s conference will be ‘Trauma and Crime Scene Cleanup.’

In the insurance restoration and repair industry, it’s tough to find an event as valuable in terms of educational opportunities and networking as the annual Contractor Connection Conference & Expo.

I am a big fan of the restoration networks. My company designs, builds and sells business insurance policies to restoration contractors. We have been at it on a full time basis for over a dozen years now. Most of the ARMR customer base of restoration contractors participates in one or more restoration networks.

The 17th Annual Contractor Connection Conference & Expo attracted record-setting attendance. 

Contractor Connection came and went so quickly -- and mine was dotted with wonderful, yet small interactions that truly left their mark on my trip.

The 2015 Contractor Connection Conference & Expo includes 11 breakout sessions in two days.

Seventeen years after about 50 attendees last gathered in “The City Beautiful,” more than 3,000 are expected to attend this year’s Contractor Connection Conference & Expo.

More than 10 percent of the staff at Contractor Connection served in the U.S. military. Bull, a Navy veteran, keeps the trend going.
