The Flooring Sustainability Summit is set to return to Washington, D.C., July 16-17, at the Mayflower Hotel. Building on the success of last year’s inaugural event, the 2025 Summit will again bring together policymakers, advocacy groups, standards organizations, manufacturers, distributors, construction professionals, members of the A&D community and procurement officers.
The event will be hosted by prominent industry groups including the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI), National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA), Natural Stone Institute (NSI), North American Laminate Flooring Association (NALFA), Resilient Floor Covering Institute (RFCI) and Tile Council of North America (TCNA).
“The sustainability landscape of 2025 presents new challenges and opportunities, which we expect will continue to evolve in the coming years,” stated Bill Griese, chairman of the Summit and TCNA deputy executive director. “By bringing the entire flooring industry together, we can ensure our collective efforts and contributions to green building are aligned with marketplace trends, architectural initiatives, and the evolving demands of regulatory and standardization bodies.”
The Summit’s programming will focus on three topics: the evolving sustainability landscape, the circular economy, and the importance of education across the supply chain.
