December 21, 2021

Coverings, the preeminent event for the ceramic tile and natural stone industry in North America, has released a lineup of featured conference sessions for Coverings 2022.

Attendees of Coverings 2022, which will take place from April 5 to 8, 2022, at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, can benefit from a robust educational program, with many sessions offering Continuing Education Units (CEUs), highlighted across three learning tracks: Installation & Fabrication, Materials & Trends and Workforce & Profits.

Coverings 2022 learning opportunities will focus on the key tenets of health, wellness and environment, timeless luxury and outdoor living spaces. All educational sessions are being designed to provide show-goers with the informative content they need to excel in today’s highly competitive tile and stone marketplace.

The Installation & Fabrication sessions at Coverings 2022 will offer attendees a wealth of information regarding industry best practices and cutting-edge techniques for installation and fabrication. Select sessions in this track include:

  • Meeting Consumer Demand - Successful Exterior Installation, a panel discussion during, which tile contractors will share their experiences and successes with outdoor installations and review case studies that include the latest in pedestal systems and 2-centimeter pavers.
  • What Lies Beneath: How the Tile Community Saved the Day with Proper Preparation, an examination of what it means to be qualified labor, why training is important and how and why specifiers and customers need to engage and understand how to select a professional tile contractor.
  • The Secrets of Pool Design and Installation, which will feature case studies of award-winning swimming pool projects and cover the entire scope of the design and installation process as well as special components of swimming pool design such as water features and specification of proper waterproofing and materials.
  • Exterior Tile Veneers, where attendees will take a closer look at innovations in exterior tile assemblies and the initiative taken by industry organizations to propose revisions and successfully testify to the International Code Council in favor of allowing larger tiles on exteriors. The session will also analyze some of the challenges and critical points in the design and installation of exterior tile veneers.

“Attendees of the Installation & Fabrication sessions will gain the tools, training and technical know-how they need to be at the forefront of the tile and stone industry,” said Bart Bettiga, executive director of the National Tile Contractors Association (NTCA).

The Materials & Trends sessions at Coverings 2022 will focus on the breathtaking world of tile and stone. Select sessions will include:

  • Today’s Era of Ramped-Up Health and Environmental Action and Opportunities for Tile – Industry Leadership Collaboration Panel, a discussion among green building industry leaders to explore present and future green and healthy building demands, and how the North American ceramic tile industry is poised to capitalize on several tools and standards addressing health and environmental transparency and performance.
  • Tapping the Luxury Market – Insider Secrets from Luxury Daily’s Women in Luxury, a conversation between representatives from Luxury Daily, a leading luxury business publication, with many insights about how to tap into the luxury market and sell better products at higher margins to wealthier prospects.

“The ‘Materials & Trends’ sessions offer attendees the opportunity to learn about the health benefits of tile, be inspired by the latest trends and gain real takeaways for their businesses and projects,” said Alena Capra, Certified Master Kitchen & Bath Designer, Coverings spokesperson and owner of Alena Capra Designs.
