Globe Midwest Adjusters International was proud to participate in Win the Storm 2026, one of the nation's leading conferences for roofing, storm restoration, and home service professionals. Held in Dallas, Texas, the event brought together contractors, restoration professionals, and industry leaders for three days of education, networking, and collaboration.

Representing Globe Midwest were Ethan Gross, JD, CEO; Stuart Dorf, Senior Vice President; Leonard Cradit, Regional Vice President; and Travis Woods, Executive General Adjuster. The team connected with industry professionals, shared insights, and reinforced Globe Midwest's commitment to helping policyholders navigate complex property insurance claims.

Making an Impact on the Show Floor

Globe Midwest made a strong impression on the exhibition, creating an engaging space for attendees to connect with the team and learn more about the firm's services.

One of the booth's standout attractions was an interactive punching bag challenge, bringing a fun, competitive element to the conference experience. The activity drew attendees into the booth, sparked conversations, and provided an opportunity to build relationships with restoration professionals from across the country.

Beyond the excitement, the booth served as a hub for meaningful discussions about insurance claims, policyholder advocacy, and the challenges restoration contractors face when navigating the claims process.

Sharing Industry Expertise

A highlight of Globe Midwest's participation was the opportunity for two of its industry experts to take the stage and contribute to the conference's educational programming.

Ethan Gross, JD, CEO, presented a product showcase titled "Getting Paid: Proven Strategies for Insurance Restoration Contractors," sharing practical insights into navigating insurance claims and understanding the strategies that can help restoration contractors pursue appropriate payment for their work.

Gross also participated as a panelist in "Supplement With Purpose”, a discussion focused on identifying overlooked work, documenting necessary repairs, and effectively supporting insurance supplement requests. The session emphasized the importance of thorough documentation, accurate estimates, and clear communication in helping contractors address missing scope and pursue proper compensation.

Travis Woods, Executive General Adjuster, participated as a panelist in "When to Use PAs & Attorney", a discussion exploring when public adjusters and policyholder attorneys should become involved in the insurance claims process. The panel examined their distinct roles, the circumstances that may warrant additional expertise, and how effective communication among contractors, public adjusters, attorneys, and policyholders can help move challenging claims forward.

Through these speaking engagements, Globe Midwest shared its expertise while reinforcing the importance of collaboration, education, and informed decision-making throughout the insurance claims process.

Building Connections Across the Restoration Industry

Throughout the conference, the Globe Midwest team connected with roofing contractors, restoration companies, and other industry professionals from across the country.

From conversations at the booth to educational sessions and networking opportunities, Win the Storm provided a valuable platform for exchanging insights, strengthening relationships, and highlighting the important role public adjusters play in representing policyholders following property damage.

With more than 100 years of experience advocating exclusively for policyholders, Globe Midwest continues to serve as a trusted resource for property owners and restoration professionals navigating complex insurance claims.

Looking Ahead

Globe Midwest's participation in Win the Storm 2026 reflects its ongoing commitment to industry education, building professional relationships, and advocating for policyholders.
