While the number of flooring companies was noticeably down at this year’s Greenbuild in New Orleans it was still clearly evident the industry as a whole remains a leader in this area.
The International Certified Floorcovering Installers Association (CFI) and Floor Installation Association of North America (FIANA) recently held their first, and only, joint convention in New Orleans.
When it comes to buying groups, franchises or co-ops, conventions are generally the one way for the corporate entity to gather the members in one location and lay out the company’s agenda for the next six to 12 months.
The 2015 edition of The International Surface Event (TISE) in Las Vegas will once again feature the combination of SURFACES, StoneExpo/Marmomacc Americas and TileExpo, but as is usually the case with the industry’s largest all-encompassing trade show in North America there’s a whole lot more for participants to seek their teeth into.
Although the 17th Domotex asia/ChinaFloor (DACF) is not taking place until March 24 to 26, the number of international suppliers registered to participate already exceeds the figure for the previous event, according to show officials.
More than 700 distribution professionals came together from the floor covering, specialty building material, cabinetry and woodworking industries for the North American Association of Floor Covering Distributors (NAFCD) + North American Building Material Distribution Association (NBMDA) Annual Convention, held Nov. 18 to 20 in Dallas.
Applications are now available for AmericasMart Atlanta's 2015 America’s Magnificent Carpets Awards, which will be held during the Atlanta International Area Rug Market, featuring the National Oriental Rug Show, Jan. 7 to 10.
The International Surface Event (TISE) is calling for nominations for its Best of 2015 awards program, sponsored by TILE Magazine, Stone World and Floor Covering News.
