The International Surface Event, a combination of StonExpo/Marmomacc Americas, Surfaces and Tile Expo, brought together stone and stone working technology, as well as tile and tile-setting products, along with carpet, wood and linoleum — all of it featured on one floor this year, compared to the two-floor design from previous years. The annual event was held from January 19 to 22, 2016 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV.
With over 350,000 square feet of exhibit space, the show included 750 exhibitors and was part of the Design and Construction Week, which featured five different shows in Las Vegas that had over 125,000 attendees. From the moment the doors opened, there was an obvious energy on the show floor. Crowded aisles and busy booths were both positive indicators of the level of the show’s success. Most exhibitors agreed this was the best year for TISE that they can remember.
