Purchased in early 2000 by Hanley-Wood Exhibitions, Surfaces is entering a new phase of involvement in the floor covering world. This year's event features a lineup of seminars and workshops unequaled in diversity and depth. Nearly 40 events have been scheduled at various times throughout the show's duration, with topics ranging from Weaving Dollars from Woven Carpet and What is This Thing Called 'Brand'?, to Troubleshooting Installation Problems in an Era of New Technologies and everything in between.
Buy, save and connect. These are the ties that help bind together the Surfaces "Solutions" theme for 2001. Floor coverings are a $40 billion-plus industry, and increasing the time and resources allotted for the educational programs is a major step in helping its growth continue.
