Gary Sinise to Headline Keynote Session
A major highlight of Coverings 2026 will be the keynote presentation by award-winning actor and humanitarian Gary Sinise, founder of the Gary Sinise Foundation. Scheduled for April 1, 2026 (8:30–9:15 a.m. PDT), the session will feature Sinise in conversation with industry leaders, discussing themes of service, craftsmanship, and community building.
The keynote is presented with the support of MAPEI Corporation as headline sponsor and PROFLEX Products, Inc. as supporting sponsor.
“We’re honored to welcome Gary Sinise to Coverings 2026,” said Jamie Rich, Managing Director of Coverings. “His keynote participation—and the incredible work of the Gary Sinise Foundation—will deeply resonate with the Coverings community. The foundation’s commitment to building and retrofitting homes for veterans and first responders mirrors the spirit of craftsmanship and collaboration that defines our industry.”
Sinise, best known for his Oscar-nominated role as Lt. Dan Taylor in Forrest Gump and acclaimed performances in Apollo 13, The Green Mile, and CSI: NY, founded his namesake foundation in 2011. The organization provides mortgage-free, specially adapted smart homes for severely wounded veterans and supports first responders and their families, often partnering with architects, builders, and tile and stone professionals to create safe, accessible environments.

The Coverings Cares philanthropic program, launched in 2023, will spotlight the Gary Sinise Foundation at the 2026 event.
