INTERESTED IN SPEAKING AT COVERINGS 2009?
LET US KNOW WHAT YOU’D LIKE TO DISCUSS.

The conference program at Coverings is unlike any other offered by the ceramic tile and stone industries. With content contributors like the Tile Council of North America (TCNA), National Tile Contractors Association (NTCA), Ceramic Tile Distributors Association (CTDA), the Marble Institute of America (MIA), along with participation of local ASID, AIA,IIDA and NKBA chapters, leading trade publications, international business analysts and "name-brand" consultants on everything from color to contract law, Coverings offers the broadest range of subject matter in the industry. The program is designed to increase business knowledge and encourage success through better understanding of market factors and dynamics in every distribution channel and value chain. On average, more than half of all Coverings visitors attend at least one session each year. Sessions are typically 60 minutes in length.

Four conference tracks are developed each year, tailored to meet the educational needs of a specific audience. The tracks include retail and distribution, architecture and interior design, installation and fabrication, and stone. Integrated into all tracks is green building, focusing on environmentally conscious products and services which have become an integral part of the tile and stone industry.

The conference program at Coverings also offers AIA, ASID/ IIDA and NKBA CEUs and we welcome pre-approved programs designed to offer continuing education to these communities.
