NEW YORK, NY -- Ceramics of Italy is thrilled to announce the launch of its fourth annual Destination: CERSAIE | Bologna program. Organized by Confindustria Ceramica (the Italian Association of Ceramics) and the Italian Trade Agency, the initiative offers North American developers, architects, builders/contractors and design professionals the chance to secure a spot on a four-night, CEU-accredited trip to Italy’s culinary capital, Bologna, to attend CERSAIE - the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings - taking place from September 23 to September 27, 2024.

This year, the Italian ceramic industry has merged the Destination: CERSAIE program with its Young Distributor Award. Emerging distributors are now invited to apply through this year’s cycle of Destination: CERSAIE to help strengthen the relationship between North American distributors and Italian manufacturers, while bringing a new generation of importers to experience the show. Applicants must show an interest in learning about the Italian ceramic tile industry and demonstrate passion and leadership in their company.
