The World Floor Covering Association (WFCA) has announced the Synergy Convention & Expo—an event designed to bring together flooring professionals from across multiple disciplines. Previously called “Elevate,” the joint Certified Flooring Installers Association/Flooring Contractors Association (CFI/FCICA) Annual Convention will mark its third year with the addition of Flooring Consultants and Inspection Training Services (FCITS) and Floor Covering Business-to-Business (FCB2B).
Set for Sept. 16-18 at the Sheraton Music City Airport Hotel in Nashville, the event will offer hands-on training, certification, digital integration, inspection programming and leadership development, the WFCA stated.
The Synergy Convention & Expo follows the success of last year’s event which attracted more than 50 exhibitors. Keeping with the event’s branding and tagline—“Education. Connection. Innovation.”—each participating organization will host specialized programming aligned to its mission while contributing to the broader, unified experience.
“This event isn’t just about bringing people together—it’s about aligning strengths and creating momentum across all corners of the flooring industry,” said Freida Staten, WFCA’s chief marketing & strategy officer. “We’re proud to offer a platform where professionals can come together, share knowledge and collectively shape the future of the industry.”
