Surfaces Las Vegas

Surfaces Las Vegas - "All in One"

Surfaces Las Vegas is by far the most important trade show for floor coverings in the Americas. Established in 1990, it takes place each year in early February (2010: 2-4 February) at the Sands Expo & Convention Center Las Vegas. Surfaces Las Vegas is called an “all-in-one” event, as all major companies and professionals of the
American flooring industry get together to do business with almost all types of flooring and to discuss market trends. It is sponsored by the World Floor Covering Association, the floor covering industry’s largest advocacy organisation representing floor covering retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers in the U.S.

The trade show has products in nearly every category, e.g.: Oriental rugs, area rugs, textile floor coverings, tiles, hardwood, laminates, wall coverings, curtains and drapes, marble, stone, adhesives, tools and other aids. In 2009, more than 700 exhibitors presented their products and services, offering American buyers and specifiers a wide range of products for their market. Visitors and buyers included retailers, wholesalers, architects, designers, contractors and  builders. In 2009, 23,686 visitors and companies attended the trade show. As is customary in the U.S., this count includes any employees of the exhibitors.

As with many American trade shows, the supporting programme of lectures and seminars plays a major role. The 2010 “Educational Program” is composed of 40 modules, with workshops of up to 3 hours and mini sessions of up to 60 minutes. This programme begins already one day ahead of the trade show, on 1 February
2010.
