Thursday, Oct. 31
8:30 a.m. | Metal Roofing from A (Aluminum) to Z (Zinc)
Rob Haddock, founder and CEO of S-5!, and director of the Metal Roof Advisory Group, will present “Metal Roofing From A (Aluminum) to Z (Zinc).” Described in an S-5! news release as “the best ‘crash course’ available” for all in-industry personnel, it includes technical information presented in a “common-sense” fashion that makes the art and science of metal roofing clear, concise and understandable.
Attending will benefit contractors, salespeople, architects, specifiers, roof consultants, engineers, building owners, and maintenance staff.
1:30 p.m. | Strength Comparison Between Short Rail and Direct Attachments on
Racking Systems on Metal Rooftop for Solar Applications
Later Thursday afternoon, S-5! Research and Development Director Ricardo Barroso will present a technical session on “Holding Strength Comparison Between Short Rail and Direct Attachments on Racking Systems on Metal Rooftop for Solar Applications.”
Barroso oversees product development, compliance and application engineering at S-5! and will review wind uplift load test data to compare a commercial short rail with a direct attachment metal bracket on an exposed-fastened metal roof panel.
He will analyze the engineering calculations and discuss the financial benefits of adopting a more robust uplift resistance system.

On Friday morning, sales expert David Stahler of S-5! will present “Sales 101: Successful Sales Strategies from Cross-Selling to Up-Selling.” Selling products or services has become increasingly challenging, requiring extensive knowledge, a well-developed strategy and the ability to build relationships.
