Coverings 2016 is Just Around the Corner! Are You Ready?

Coverings 2016

The next three weeks will be a whirlwind of activities and deadlines — all in preparation for Coverings 2016! From April 18-22, Chicago will host the largest tile and stone show of its kind in the U.S.

As a global event, Coverings is set to host exhibitors from more than 40 countries! It attracts thousands of distributors, retailers, fabricators, contractors and specifiers, as well as architectural and design professionals, builders and real estate developers. That being said, here’s a quick run-through of events you shouldn’t miss – and this is just for Monday, the official start to the four-day event!
