Coverings’ Return to Orlando Marks First of Three Consecutive Shows at Orange County Convention Center

Aug. 24, 2026 – ORLANDO – Coverings (www.coverings.com), North America’s largest international tile and stone event, will return to Orlando, Florida, April 6-9, 2027, at the Orange County Convention Center, celebrating the beginning of three consecutive years during which the show will be hosted in Orlando.

“Coverings is where the entire tile and stone ecosystem—from distributors, dealers, retailers and installers to architects, designers, builders, remodelers and fabricators—comes together to connect and form new relationships with industry peers and find the latest tile, stone and machinery product innovations,” said Jamie Rich, Coverings’ managing director. “Bringing Coverings back to Orlando for 2027, and continuing that momentum through the 2028 and 2029 shows, creates an exciting multi-year opportunity to unite the global tile and stone community in one of the country’s most dynamic event destinations.”
