Attending the Coverings VIP Specifier Program was an exceptional experience that seamlessly blended education, innovation, and networking. As a seasoned interior designer, actively sourcing porcelain tile and natural stone for large-scale projects, this event provided invaluable insights and connections that will undoubtedly influence my upcoming designs. The program's thoughtfully curated schedule offered a deep dive into global trends and materials. From guided tours of the Tile Council of North America, Ceramics of Italy, and Tile of Spain pavilions to one-on-one meetings with leading exhibitors, every interaction was tailored to enhance our understanding of the industry's latest advancements.
