Organizers of Coverings have announced that the venue for
its 2011 tile and stone exhibition is now officially Las Vegas. The expo will take place March
14-17, 2011, at the Sands
Convention Center.
While a
previous announcement named Los Angeles as the Coverings 2011 location, show
organizers say they “jumped at the chance to make the switch to Las Vegas when
the opportunity presented itself.”
“Coverings
has had its eye on Las Vegas for years, so we’re thrilled that the show will be
going to this truly singular city earlier than we had anticipated,” said
Jennifer Hoff, president of events for National Trade Productions (NTP), which
manages and produces Coverings. “Given Las Vegas’ unrivaled status as the No. 1
venue for some of the world’s leading conventions and trade shows, we have no
doubt that Coverings 2011 will rank as one of our most successful and memorable
shows ever.”
NTP says
its decision to take Coverings to Las Vegas is an exciting development in show
organizers’ plan to make a strategic move westward following this year’s
upcoming show, April 27-30, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando,
FL. “Given that the West Coast is a key market for tile and stone, and also
home to some of the world’s leading architects and designers, Coverings has
long been keen to return to the region. The inaugural Coverings show was held
21 years ago in Los Angeles, and then twice
again in Anaheim, CA, in its early past.”
“In Las
Vegas, we have the best of everything: an incomparable resort city that’s not
only an easy commute from the West Coast, but also a top draw for those from
all over the country, and indeed the rest of the world as well,” said Hoff.
Coverings
is sponsored by ASCER (Ceramic Tile Manufacturers Association of Spain),
Confindustria Ceramica (Italian Association of Ceramics), Tile Council of North
America (TCNA), Ceramic Tile Distributors Association (CTDA), and National Tile
Contractors Association (NTCA).
