You wouldn’t know about some things unless you came to this. I have opened up my mind to so many ways with different designs and colors and understanding why businesses do what they do. Coverings has set the tone for what an event should be like… I've done trade shows for other types of trades and this set the bar with how the people in this industry are... they seem to really enjoy what they do here. Theres no reason to not be here. You meet more people and become more of a family. I am excited for future Coverings.

It's a great environment to network, to get to know people, and see what kind of different products and tools are out there, because our industry is changing all of the time. One of the most fun things about Coverings is the people. I am trying to be able to produce the best products and services for my clients and being able to have the knowledge and being able to talk to the reps and get involved is really important to us.

For me, Coverings is about the tools, trims, and seeing who else is out there. Getting to meet the suppliers provides a big advantage — they tend to take care of us.

This was our first Coverings convention, as a new tile store retailer and longtime tile installers, it opened our eyes to the possibilities of expanding our services and we loved learning about new tools to make our installer's jobs easier and more efficient.
