Participation in the program, which encompasses Surfaces, StonExpo/Marmomacc Americas and TileExpo, is free for companies exhibiting at TISE. Submissions may include a product, program, service, business practice or booth design that was introduced after this year's show or making its debut at TISE. A company may submit only one product in a single category, but may submit the same product across multiple categories.

 

The awards for each show will be evaluated and determined by a panel of judges chosen by the official publication sponsors. The winning companies will be announced and awarded in the winner’s booths on Jan. 22. Awards will be presented by representatives from the sponsoring publications and TISE show management. Winners will also be featured in a post-show press release, featured on the show’s social media channels and highlighted on TISEwest.com.

 

“The Best of Surfaces awards program has grown in popularity and prestige over the last couple of years,” commented Amie Gilmore, TISE's show director. “This program adds abundant value to the show and to the exhibitors’ experience. If you’re an exhibitor at TISE 2015, you’ll want to take advantage of this opportunity.”

 

The deadline for submission is Dec. 5. More information, including the list of 2014 winners, can be found at TISEwest.com/Bestof2015.
