From March 30 to April 2, 2026, the largest and longest-running professional exhibition for stone and tile in North America-the Coverings 2026-will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center. This industry event, organized by Taffy Event Strategies, serves as a core platform for global stone and tile enterprises to connect with high-end buyers in North America, as well as a crucial opportunity for Chinese building materials companies to expand their presence in the North American market.
This exhibition attracted over 25000 high-quality professional buyers, with nearly 90% of buyers holding direct purchasing decision-making power, including architects, interior designers, high-end building materials retailers, engineering contractors, and chain hotel supply chain managers. The core needs of the attendees were product selection, price comparison, and order confirmation. Over 80% of exhibitors and 90% of buyers at the previous exhibition recognized the value of the exhibition, and the repurchase rate remained high.
The exhibits cover three core areas, including natural stones such as marble and granite, ceramic tiles, wood grain tiles and other ceramic tile finishes, as well as complete supporting auxiliary materials and tools such as cutting equipment, adhesives, waterproof coatings, etc. At present, the United States is ushering in a new trend of residential renovation and the recovery of commercial real estate. The demand for imported stone tiles with high cost-effectiveness and outstanding design sense continues to rise. The Chinese exhibition group has become an important force in the exhibition with innovative products such as quartz stone, rock slab, and digital inkjet tiles.
Cross border exhibitions face many challenges such as long visa appointment schedules and the need to lock in hotels in advance. In order to help Chinese companies participate in exhibitions efficiently and smoothly, Shenzhen Kangcheng International Convention and Exhibition Tourism Co., Ltd. has launched a one-stop overseas business travel service, covering guidance on business visa materials, international flight booking, high-quality hotel arrangements around the exhibition hall, as well as providing localized support such as airport transfers and extension vehicles. This allows companies to focus on product display and order matching without being distracted by trivial matters, and efficiently seize business opportunities in the North American stone and tile market.
