Since its founding in 2018, Expo Contratista has grown into the leading trade show for Latino builders, contractors, and construction professionals in the United States. What began as a focused community event in Texas has evolved into a national platform that empowers Latino contractors through education, networking, innovation, and opportunity.
Today, Expo Contratista is more than a trade show — it is a movement that celebrates Latino excellence in construction.
Built by the Industry, for the Industry
Expo Contratista was created to fill a critical gap in the construction world: a space where Latino builders, roofers, remodelers, and trades professionals could connect directly with suppliers, manufacturers, service providers, and industry leaders — all under one roof.
From hands-on demos to business education, Expo Contratista delivers real value to contractors who are building America every day.
