The Natural Stone Pavilion Awarded Best Booth at StonExpo
A partnership with five international stone associations led to an expanded Natural Stone Pavilion at StonExpo 2023, complete with education on the show floor, which was recognized in the Best of StonExpo Awards
Showing significant growth from years past, the Natural Stone Pavilion was recognized as “Best Booth” in the Best of StonExpo Awards, during The International Surface Event (TISE), held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV, from January 31 to February 2, 2023. Stationed in the heart of StonExpo, one of three components of TISE, which also included TilExpo and Surfaces, the Natural Stone Pavilion featured a Stone Theater where educational sessions were held daily, as well as exhibiting stone producers from around the world.
“It was wonderful to have the jury recognize the entire Natural Stone Pavilion as a tribute to the commitment these companies have made to advance StonExpo as a trade show with a solid balance of both natural stone and technology -- tooling, equipment and adhesives,” said Jim Hieb, chief executive officer / executive director of the Natural Stone Institute and Natural Stone Foundation. “The Pavilion is the result of collaboration and teamwork amongst several international trade associations to help bring more awareness to natural stone. We are grateful to receive the award and encourage other natural stone suppliers to look to StonExpo as a vehicle to advance their company and their materials.”
