Registration is now open for Coverings 2025, North America’s premier event for ceramic tile and natural stone, set to take place April 29-May 2 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. The four-day show will feature over 1,100 global exhibitors, along with a dynamic conference program covering key industry trends, innovations, and advancements in tile and stone.
The Coverings Cares program returns, offering show attendees the chance to make charitable donations during registration. This year, Coverings pledges to match registrant donations up to $20,000, doubling contributions for selected charities. The initiative allows donations to organizations such as the Gary Sinise Foundation, Tile Heritage Foundation, and Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, among others.
Coinciding with the registration launch, Coverings is accepting submissions for the 2025 Coverings Installation and Design (CID) Awards and the Rock Star Awards. The CID Awards honor excellence in tile and stone design and installation across residential and commercial projects. Professionals can submit up to three projects, completed between January 2023 and December 2024, showcasing creativity, technical skill, or sustainable practices. Submissions are due by December 20 and will be reviewed by an expert panel.
The Rock Star Awards recognize outstanding young professionals in the tile and stone industry under 35. Nominees, evaluated on industry involvement, leadership, and community impact, also have a submission deadline of December 20.
Coverings 2025 promises a comprehensive program for industry professionals, with opportunities for networking, education, and a meaningful impact through the Coverings Cares initiative.
