ORLANDO, FL -- Coverings, the international tile and stone expo and conference, has effectively set itself apart from the trade show pack with "Bring Your Client to Coverings" -- the one opportunity consumers can sneak a peek at what their architects and interior designers are privy to in this decorative building materials category.

Coverings 2012 convenes April 17 through April 20 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL, and registered A+D attendees can be joined by up to two client guests daily as they peruse the introductions of hundreds of global exhibitors representing more than 50 countries. Attendance for all is free.
