Show organizers of Coverings (www.coverings.com), the largest showcase of ceramic tile and natural stone in North America, recently opened registration for Coverings 2025. The event, set for April 29 to May 2 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla., will offer a comprehensive conference program and international product exhibition featuring around 1,100 global exhibitors, organizers noted.
Returning for the 2025 show is the Coverings Cares program, a charitable initiative dedicated to supporting the tile and stone industry and giving back to the local community in the city where the show is held. Registrants wishing to participate in the 2025 Coverings Cares program will have the opportunity to donate to one of six vetted organizations during the online registration process, including the Gary Sinise Foundation, Ceramic Tile Education Foundation (CTEF), Tile Heritage Foundation, Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA), Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida and Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando.
“Coverings is pledging to match Coverings 2025 registrants’ donations up to $20,000, effectively doubling the contributions for each selected charity,” said Jenn Heinold, president of Taffy Event Strategies, the event management company for Coverings. “This initiative underscores Coverings’ ongoing commitment to supporting industry-related and local causes, empowering show attendees to create a positive impact through their attendance and involvement.”
Additionally, nominations are open for The Coverings Installation & Design (CID) Awards and Coverings Rock Stars programs. The CID Awards recognize outstanding achievements in the design and installation of ceramic tile and natural stone across residential and commercial projects. Tile, stone and design professionals are encouraged to submit their projects through the CID project submission portal by Dec. 20.
The Coverings Rock Stars, an emerging leaders program, celebrates the tile and stone industry’s top young professionals under 35. Industry leaders are encouraged to submit nominations via the online Coverings Rock Stars nomination form by Dec. 20. Self-nominations are not permitted.
