Contractor Connection Conference & Expo
Crawford Contractor Connection invites you to participate in the 2019 Contractor Connection Conference and Expo June 9-11 in Dallas. Contractor Connection is the largest managed repair network in North America and this is the signature event of the network. It is also the largest attended event in the combined insurance restoration and home improvement industry with the largest contingent of insurance claims executives and adjusters outside of insurance specific events.
This has become the premier event in which to participate because most of the leaders in the industry are here.”
- Bill Loveland, Xactware Solutions
Join us and discover why more than 3,000 network member contractors, insurance claim executives, affinity partners and vendors know that this is the place to be and be seen each year.

Each year I return to the Contractor Connection Expo I’m more and more impressed with the quality of the contractors and the contacts I make. The contractors that I’ve met at the Expo show a strong desire to not only grow their businesses, but to expand their industry and service IQ to help them serve their customers with the highest level of quality service possible. For me, the Crawford Contractor Connection Expo provides the best ROI of all the expos I attend annually.”

After years of attending the Contractor Connection Events and watching how they have grown in participants, we decided to be an exhibitor for the first time in 2018 and we are so glad that we did. The contacts made with potential customers and the relationships enhanced with manufacturers made the experience so worth the investment. We will do this every year and are anxiously waiting 2019.”
