Coverings 2015 is only a few weeks away. On April 14 – 17th, 2015 Coverings opens its doors once again in Orlando for the 26th time to promote tile and stone  among distributors, retailers, fabricators, contractors, architects, designers, builders, real estate developers, manufacturers and suppliers.

In the recent years, tile and stone have become essential to overall architecture and design. Keeping that in mind, Coverings being dedicated exclusively to tile and stone is a great opportunity for   exhibitors to meet professionals and customers. Oh and with the media as well.

On the 25th anniversary of this international show last year, both exhibitor and attendee numbers reached a peak; there were 22,500 people who attended the fair which was 3% higher than the previous year; and 975 exhibitors which increased by 2.6% compared to 2013. Coverings 2015 is a must visit for the industry, with more than 23,000 professionals expected to attend the event. Would you dare to miss new business leads and contacts to be made?
