Coverings, the free premier international ceramic tile and natural stone exhibition and conference in North America, has announced openings for event registration, discounted hotel booking options and award program submissions for Coverings 2024. The event will take place April 22-25, 2024, at the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) in Atlanta, Georgia. Tile, stone and design professionals across all segments of the industry can now register to attend Coverings 2024 at no cost by visiting Coverings.com.
Those who register online at this time gain access to 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.
As a part of its new Coverings Cares initiative, Coverings will donate $10 to the organization chosen by each event registrant, who can then match or exceed the donated amount if desired. The Coverings donations will be bestowed to the designated charitable organizations for the first 5,000 attendees who attend Coverings 2024 onsite.
Coverings 2024 registrants will have the chance to select and support one of six vetted and deserving charitable organizations when they register for the event, including the Atlanta Community Food Bank, Atlanta Habitat for Humanity, the Ceramic Tile Education Foundation (CTEF), EARTHDAY.ORG, the Gary Sinise Foundation and the Tile Heritage Foundation.
The new Coverings Cares 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 is honored to give back to Atlanta and excited to return to the city’s rich culture in April, while offering an amazing event experience to support, unite and engage with the global tile and stone community,” says Jenni Heinold, president of Taffy Event Strategies, the event management company for Coverings. “This year’s event will be a game changer for attendees and exhibitors alike, bringing together the most innovative minds through a new slate of meaningful learning opportunities; fostering invaluable networking with industry peers; and showcasing the newest tile and stone products, tools, equipment and technologies from around the world.”
The latest trends and innovations in ceramic tile and natural stone will be on display throughout the Coverings 2024 show floor, allowing attendees to see, feel and experience the products with exclusive access to a vast array of over 1,000 exhibits from over 40 countries.
Attendees will benefit from a complete lineup of educational content, such as live demonstrations, one-on-one experiences, panel discussions, active podcasts and many hands-on activities. All learning opportunities and show floor activations will concentrate on Coverings’ returning core tenets: “Sustainability,” “Health & 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, which falls on the first day of the event.
Curated Earth Day activities 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 the planet and its inhabitants. Being in downtown Atlanta provides plenty of before- and after-conference attractions within walking distance of the GWCC, including the World of Coca-Cola, College Football Hall of Fame, Georgia Aquarium and other Atlanta landmarks.
