In addition to suppliers of stone materials and installation/maintenance products, the Stone and Tile Pavilion has always included the presence of trade organizations such as the Marble Institute of America, the Italian Trade Commission, IMM Carrara (the organizer of the CarraraMarmotec trade show in Carrara, Italy), and Veronafiere (the organizer of the Marmomacc trade show in Verona, Italy). Additionally, the Natural Stone Council made its debut two years ago at the AIA Expo in Chicago, and it also made a strong impression with visitors at last year's event in Las Vegas. In addition to providing continuing education, the Natural Stone Council's exhibit has featured a broad range of stonework, including granite countertops, paving, fieldstone, machinery and a magnificent limestone entry arch.
