The World Floor Covering Association (WFCA) has unveiled its lineup of guest speakers and in-booth events for The International Surface Event (TISE) 2022 next week in Las Vegas. Through its “Reset, Reconnect, Renew” theme, WFCA aims to foster togetherness and focus on positive change by reminding everyone to pause and reconnect to “our dreams, our staff, our customers and our partners,” the association noted.
Across the three-day event in WFCA’s booth #2061, attendees can participate in ‘fireside chats’ with WFCA leadership and guests to network, learn and be inspired. Between sessions, participants will have the opportunity to engage directly with speakers and their peers.
“WFCA’s theme affirms the current optimistic belief that the time is now to Reset, Reconnect, and Renew,” said Freida Staten, vice president of marketing, communications & membership. “Circumstances over the last few years have proven that connectivity is more important than ever and that we are stronger together. TISE is a place where attendees have an opportunity to reset perspectives, learn from one another, and where new relationships are formed. This year’s agenda will provide content that will challenge you to hit the reset button and make 2022 your year.”
