The International Surface Event heads back to Las Vegas next month, with a new education format to provide a safe way for attendees to gain valuable information
Nearly a year and a half since it was last held, The International Surface Event (TISE): SURFACES | StonExpo/Marmomac | TileExpo, is excited to return to the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV, from June 16 to 18, 2021. Show management has been working feverishly to put together one of the first in-person U.S. tradeshows to take place since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of mid-May, more than 160 exhibitors were registered to display their products and services at the largest North American floor covering, stone and tile industry event, which is sponsored by the World Floor Covering Association, Natural Stone Institute, Natural Stone Council, Marmo+Mac, National Tile Contractors Association and Ceramic Tile Education Foundation.
The health and safety of its attendees and exhibitors are a top priority for TISE management, and as a result, the educational component was revamped to ensure social distancing and proper cleaning in between sessions. One of the most noticeable changes is that the sessions will be held on the expo floor instead of conference rooms – making it more convenient for people to attend. Stone World had the opportunity to talk with Paul Treanor, senior manager, content and community at Informa, to learn more details about the education program at TISE 2021.
