Registration is now open for the ASID Inside Surfaces Tours, a joint venture between The International Surface Event (TISE) and the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) offering a series of free tours pairing educational segments with curated stops at leading manufacturers. These tours will be held during the upcoming TISE show, Jan. 24-26, 2024, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.
Tour co-host Wendy Glaister, allied ASID, principal and owner of Wendy Glaister Interiors, stated, “I am thrilled to be kicking off the inaugural launch of this new partnership and for the opportunity to bring ASID members together like never before. As past president of the ASID CA/Central Nevada Chapter, I have always valued the organization’s ability to forge stronger connections that connect and uplift our design community.”
Tour co-host Shane Jones, allied ASID, senior manager of development, industry partnerships at ASID, recently curated a successful insiders tour at Fall High Point Market, and commented about this inaugural partnership. “I am excited to be working with Serena [Martin, tour producer], Wendy and the team at TISE to introduce ASID designers to this innovative surfaces show. This tour will also help us build and foster stronger relationships with surface brands that will help to diversify our members’ design businesses and to grow their resources within the kitchen & bath industry.”
Martin noted, “While developing the idea for designer tours at TISE with Wendy, we really wanted to help inspire fellow interior designers with exciting brand discovery and the incredible education that this show provides.”
ASID Inside Surfaces Tour is for ASID designer members in good standing to participate in one of two curated, guided half-day tour options—on the afternoon of Thursday, Jan. 25 or the morning of Friday, Jan. 26. Tour participants will also receive a free, three-day exhibit hall pass to the show, as well as access to educational events and an exclusive VIP Lounge for refreshment and group networking.
Interested brands are encouraged to register for the opportunity to be featured as one of the 10-12 stops during the two-day program. Each of the hand-selected brands will get a 20-minute presentation time slot in their booth where representatives can discuss their company’s features, benefits, products and services.
