The trade show will take place from February 17 to 19, 2026 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL. The initiative is part of It’s Natural - Brazilian Natural Stone, a project developed by the Brazilian Natural Stone Association (Centrorochas) in partnership with ApexBrasil (Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency).
The Natural Stone Institute (NSI), in partnership with Stone World, is pleased to announce the full schedule for the 2026 Stone Summit Series; a nationwide lineup of regional one-day educational events designed to deliver relevant, actionable education to countertop fabricators across the U.S.
Buechel Stone recently completed the rollout of its two newest natural stone veneer products -- Heather Gray Tailored Blend and Ivory Sand Tailored Blend -- which are now on display in Buechel Stone’s Midwest showrooms. The products were introduced through a series of Dimensional Product Reveals hosted at Buechel Stone Design Centers, providing architects, designers, builders and clients the opportunity to experience the new stone blends in person.
The meeting will take place on January 27 in Las Vegas (USA), marking the official debut of the international strategic alliance created to promote the use of natural stone worldwide.
