Coverings 2026, is expected to welcome nearly 25,000 industry professionals from around the world—including architects, designers, contractors, installers, fabricators, distributors and retailers. Attendees can experience a variety of show floor features, including guided and audio tours, and interactive programs designed for every segment of the industry.
One of the show’s central gathering spots will be The Coverings Lounge, which will again host the Trends & Solutions Stage, daily networking opportunities and afternoon happy hours. The lounge will also feature a special installation created by students from the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV), who will design and build mosaic-tiled furniture for a cozy lounge-study space inspired by an “old school” aesthetic.
The Coverings Lounge will also host the 2026 Rock Stars and Coverings Champions Awards Ceremony on March 30, celebrating emerging leaders and longtime supporters of the tile and stone industry.
Returning show floor highlights include the Artisan Showcase, where attendees can discover handmade tile, watch live demonstrations and participate in hands-on activities like mosaic coaster-making workshops.
Educational programming will take place across three main stages:
Trends & Solutions Stage, featuring short presentations on business strategies, products and industry trends
Installation Innovation Stage, where experts from the National Tile Contractors Association and Tile Council of North America will demonstrate installation techniques and best practices
Fabricator Stage, developed with the Natural Stone Institute and Latin American Fabricators Network, offering expert insights on stone fabrication and business growth.
Another place to connect and recharge includes the Galvanize Lounge, which will host networking events and this year’s Coverings Installation & Design (CID) Awards Ceremony. The space will also feature mindfulness workshops focused on wellness and leadership.
Attendees can dive deeper into the show floor through guided Contractor Tours, a Contractor Tour en Español, and self-guided audio tours covering topics such as porcelain innovation, outdoor living spaces, stone fabrication and tile technology.
Together, these experiences highlight Coverings’ commitment to education, collaboration and innovation—connecting attendees with new ideas, practical knowledge and professionals from across the global tile and stone industry.
