What a fantastic time we had at IRE 2025! From connecting with industry professionals to enjoying the local culture and cuisine, it was an event we won’t soon forget. Here’s a look at the highlights from our unforgettable experience:
San Antonio: A Perfect Host City
San Antonio indeed showed us a good time. Cowboy hats and boots were everywhere, and country music filled the air. The charm of the historic city was evident at every turn, making it a memorable place to host such a massive industry event.
Delicious Dining on the River Walk
The food scene was incredible. We enjoyed dining at top-notch spots, with Domingo and Ostra standing out. Both restaurants are nestled along the iconic River Walk, offering delicious meals and a beautiful view. They are a must-visit when in town!
Networking with Industry Leaders
One of the best parts of the event was connecting with industry professionals. We were fortunate to meet up with folks from Metalforming and Drexel Metals and roofing professionals from Texas, the Midwest, and Canada. The range of expertise and knowledge shared made for insightful conversations and valuable connections.
A Global Presence
It wasn’t just local professionals who attended–international metal suppliers were also in the crowd, adding a global perspective to the event. The diversity of attendees helped make IRE 2025 feel genuinely international.
Supplied with Tacos, Tunes, and Free Merch
Two major suppliers pulled out all the stops to show their customers a good time. SRS entertained with tacos, live music, and free merch. It was a fun, relaxed atmosphere where we could kick back and enjoy the music while meeting new people. And who doesn’t love free swag? ABC joined right in on the activities as the premier host of the IRE welcome party, which featured a live band and endless refreshments. The tasty apps and good vibes set the tone for the days ahead for both exhibitors and attendees.
All in all, IRE 2025 was a fantastic experience. San Antonio made everything unforgettable, from the networking to the food and lively atmosphere. We’re already looking forward to the next one!
