In the inaugural episode of Foam-It-Right®, hosts Frank Mortl III, CAE, and Eddie Canales of the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance kick things off with a preview of the SprayFoam 2026 Convention & Expo, taking place March 22–25 in Las Vegas. Joined by Gary Harvey, President and CEO of Wedge Roofing, and Lisa Smith, SPFA’s Director of Member Engagement, the conversation explores why this year’s event matters for the industry and how attendees can make the most of their time on-site. From networking and relationship-building to education, certification opportunities, and practical tips for saving money, this episode breaks down what to expect—and why the convention is designed to deliver both serious learning and a little fun along the way. Show Notes Gary Harvey is President and CEO of Wedge Roofing in Marin County, CA, and serves as treasurer of the SPFA Board of Directors. Wedge Roofing was one of the first contractors in California to specialize in spray foam systems, long before they became industry standard. Under Harvey’s guidance, we became the first company in the U.S. to earn SPFA’s highest-level credentials for both project managers and installers. Today, he helps shape national best practices through his role on the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance Executive Board. The SprayFoam 2026 Convention & Expo will take place March 22-25 in Las Vegas.
