Registration to Attend Coverings 2024 Now Open

Tile, stone and design professionals can now register for next year’s Coverings exhibition and conference — the preeminent event for the ceramic tile and natural stone industry in North America.

Registering now for Coverings 2024 offers several benefits, including advanced access to event updates, special program notifications, exclusive promotions, introduction to new product trends and innovations, and the opportunity to contribute to one of several philanthropic causes through the inaugural Coverings Cares program.

The new initiative underscores the show’s commitment to serving the tile and stone industry and the Atlanta local community through a donation pool of up to $50,000. Coverings 2024 attendees will have the chance to select and support one of six vetted charitable organizations when they register: Atlanta Community Food Bank, Atlanta Habitat for Humanity, Ceramic Tile Education Foundation, Earthday.org, Gary Sinise Foundation and Tile Heritage Foundation.

Coverings will donate $10 to the organization chosen by each event registrant, who can then match or exceed the donated amount, if desired. Coverings donations will be given to the designated charitable organizations for the first 5,000 attendees who attend the trade show in-person.

In addition to this, show highlights include the latest trends and innovations in ceramic tile and natural stone, and access to a vast array of more than 1,000 international exhibits. Event-goers will also benefit from a lineup of educational content, including live demonstrations, one-on-one experiences, panel discussions, active podcasts and hands-on activities. All learning opportunities and show floor activations will concentrate on Coverings’ returning core tenets of sustainability, health and wellness, outdoor spaces and timeless luxury.

Coverings 2024 will also unite tile and stone professionals to collectively promote sustainable design, building and installation practices through special programming in commemoration of Earth Day, April 22, which falls on the first day of the event. Curated Earth Day activations will be dedicated to celebrating and reviewing the eco-friendly properties of ceramic tile production and usage, giving attendees worthwhile insights regarding how the sustainability of ceramic tile leads to a greener future for both people and the planet.

The opening of registration coincides with the recent commencement of the 2024 Coverings Installation & Design (CID) Awards and the 2024 Rock Star Awards programs.

The CID Awards program honours remarkable accomplishments in the design and installation of ceramic tile and stone applications across residential, commercial and institutional projects. Multiple submissions for both national and international projects are accepted. There is no cost to submit. All projects must have been finalized between January 2022 and December 2023 to qualify for review.

The Coverings Rock Star Awards is dedicated to celebrating the tile and stone industry’s best and brightest young talent by bestowing recognition to a group of winners as part of the annual emerging leaders program.

Industry professionals can submit their entries for both award programs from now until Dec. 20.

Coverings 2024 will take place at the Georgia World Congress Centre in Atlanta, April 22-25.
