"The conference sessions continue to be a standout element of Coverings, and we're proud to present a program that reflects our ongoing investment in this singular facet of the show."
Beyond plenty of guidance for navigating business, the schedule features plenty of other topical sessions. As green issues continue to remain top-of-mind across the industry, the roster includes a variety of programming on the subject, such as "Green Residential Flooring Trends," which will showcase the best new green flooring products; "Using Tile in Your Next Green Building Project," a guide to understanding environmental ratings systems; and "Stone in Green Building: Moving the Stone Industry Towards Sustainability," a three-hour "crash course" workshop. There are also plenty of "how-to" sessions delving into the latest dispatches from the installation and technology frontlines. Seminars like "Field Update: Large Format Tile FaÁade Systems," "Recent Developments in Sound Reduction Membranes," and "Exterior Stone Adhered Veneer Standards: An Industry Update" will arm attendees with the information they need to know to stay ahead of the curve in an increasingly competitive business environment.
Coverings is sponsored by ASCER (Ceramic Tile Manufacturers Association of Spain), Confindustria Ceramica (Italian Association of Ceramics), Tile Council of North America (TCNA), Ceramic Tile Distributors Association (CTDA), and National Tile Contractors Association (NTCA).
