Far more than just filler between the extensive Spanish and Italian tile extravaganzas, the 2001 edition of the show in New Orleans attracted more than 1,200 exhibitors from more than 41 countries and included 11 national pavilions.
This year, the National Association of Floor Covering Distributors (NAFCD), the American Institute of Architects, (AIA), the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), the International Interior Design Association (IIDA), the Construction Specifiers Institute (CSI), the Tile Contractors Association of America (TCAA), and the Terrazzo, Tile & Marble Association of Canada (TTMAC) have thrown their support behind the Coverings expo as co-sponsors.
