The real stories behind the trades

Created by the team behind Reins, Blue Collar Keys puts the spotlight where it belongs: on the key employees powering the skilled trades.

At EPIC2026, attendees can expect to see the Blue Collar Keys crew engaging with industry professionals, filming interviews and creating social media content that highlights real stories from the trades.

"We created Blue Collar Keys not only to champion key workers at home service companies, but also to collect some of their stories and insights from the jobsite," said Chris Buttenham, co-founder of Reins. "The platform exists to celebrate those men and women with humor and respect, and trade shows are the perfect place to do that."
