As we ring in the New Year, many of us might be wondering what will 2022 have in store for us. COVID cases were on the rise again as 2021 concluded, and I know I am not alone in thinking how this will affect in-person events – especially in the first quarter of this year.
As the industry opened up again in the latter part of last year, it was refreshing to reunite with our friends and partners. Trade shows and other live events took measures to make health and safety a priority. With new standards in place, hopefully we can continue to move forward and meet in Las Vegas next month. I know Informa, the organizers of The International Surface Event (TISE), including StonExpo, has been working diligently and enthusiastically to put together an exhibition to showcase the latest product introductions, as well as to offer a complete educational program.
