More than 20,000 visitors make the annual trek to Coverings to view the latest product and material innovations the industry has to offer. Companies from countries around the world convene for the three-day event, giving it an international flavor, as well as creating an opportunity to establish and re-affirm the relationships crucial to establishing a global business venture.
Attendees of Coverings 2001 will notice a marked difference at this year's event. Breaking from its traditional format, Coverings will take place during three days instead of four. According to Coverings' representatives, the decision by the show's board of governors currently applies only to the 2001 event. Scheduling decisions for future exhibitions will not be made until results and comments from this year's event are compiled.
