January 11, 2013

With less than 30 days before the SURFACES | StonExpo/Marmomacc Americas’s exhibit hall doors open, plans are being finalized to introduce exciting new show features, as well as strengthen returning show features.

“We have created several new show floor features as a way to provide attendees with various means of finding the newest products and ideas to position them for success in 2013,” said Amie Gilmore, Associate Show Director of SURFACES | StonExpo/Marmomacc Americas 2013. “In addition, we have looked at returning show features and strengthened them to be equally as appealing and useful to our attendees.”

SURFACESwill introduce new show floor features in addition to the most popular returning areas such as Artisan Avenue, Tool Alley, New Product Marketplace, Trends Hub, Cleaning and Restoration Pavilion, formerly known as Connections Pavilion, and S2 Theater, formerly known as the S2 Main Stage.

Features of the BEC include the Education Stage, sponsored by WFCA, which will offer free 45-minute presentations on business topics such as sales, marketing, finance, and business management, the Social Lounge where attendees can experiment with blogging, tweeting and mobile apps, a cash bar, and an electronic charging station. Floor Trends will be presenting their mobile app in quick 15-minute segments in the Technology Trends are.

Dedicated to hardwood flooring products and NWFA members— current and prospective— the NWFA Hardwood Flooring Pavilion and Lounge will allow for networking and browsing among new manufacturers and suppliers of innovative hardwood products.
