March 10, 2025 – ORLANDO – Coverings (coverings.com), North America’s leading international tile and stone showcase and educational conference, has announced today an expanded roster of both new and returning programs and activations for Coverings 2025.
The highly anticipated event, set for April 29 to May 2, 2025, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, will unite a global community of distributors, retailers, architects, designers, builders, remodelers, contractors, installers, stone fabricators and other industry professionals for four transformative days of mesmerizing tile and stone exhibits, groundbreaking advancements in products and techniques as well as unparalleled opportunities for networking and business growth.
Coverings 2025 will feature numerous international pavilions hosted by top tile associations and manufacturers, the latest trends, trailblazing product innovations, state-of-the-art machinery, advanced tools and equipment, and other essential industry resources. Attendees can engage in hands-on experiences through live demonstrations, multilingual show floor tours, and other interactive programs, all thoughtfully designed to deliver actionable insights for professionals across every business sector.
“With 26,000 attendees from around the world, Coverings 2025 will be the ultimate destination for tile and stone professionals to stay ahead of emerging trends, generate qualified business leads, and develop strategic insights to maintain a competitive edge,” said Jamie Rich, Coverings show director. “Attendees will have the opportunity to maximize their time, forge valuable connections, and source the latest products from 40 countries—all while achieving a year’s worth of business value in just four days.”
Programming and activations at Coverings 2025 will bring the show’s four key tenets—“Health & Wellness,” “Sustainability,” “Outdoor Spaces,” and “Timeless Luxury”—to life across a show floor stretching nine miles. Engaging activations, creative installations and trend-driven exhibits will captivate attendees, immersing them in unforgettable experiences that showcase how tile and stone elevate design, promote well-being and redefine spaces with eco-conscious style.
A key highlight of Coverings 2025 is the much-anticipated return of The Coverings Lounge (Booth # 4300), a vibrant hub where professionals converge to learn, connect, grow and relax. This centrally located space will deliver engaging sessions at the Trends & Solutions Stage, one of Coverings’ three show floor stages, along with valuable networking opportunities, insightful presentations from tile and stone leaders, and daily happy hours with prize giveaways.
“Whether seeking industry expertise, valuable contacts, or a moment to simply unwind from the bustling show floor, The Coverings Lounge offers showgoers the ideal blend of education, networking and relaxation,” said Rich.
The Coverings Lounge will also feature the I.C.E. House Showhome Experience, an immersive display highlighting the future of home design. This innovative exhibit, a brand-new Coverings programming feature, presents a visual journey through I.C.E. House, a two-year construction and design transformation project being produced by Jennifer Farrell Designs. The experience will include exclusive talks by acclaimed designer Jennifer Farrell, with multi-media displays alongside samples of the materials featured in I.C.E. House.
Farrell will lead “Surface Materials and the Home of the Future – Walk & Talk” sessions from 1-1:30 p.m. EDT, April 29 through May 1, delivering expert insights into the evolving role of surface materials in next-generation home design. The excitement will culminate in a special I.C.E.-House-themed happy hour and prize giveaway May 1 at 4 p.m., celebrating the game-changing concepts presented throughout the week.
“I could not be more thrilled to partner with Coverings 2025 to share the I.C.E. House Showhome Experience with the world,” said Farrell. “Coverings is the largest, most important tile and stone event in North America, bringing the entire globe together to discover the future of design materials. Part of the story we’re telling at I.C.E. House is how the global culture of design is guiding the home of the future, which makes Coverings the perfect partner for telling that story.”
Happy hours and giveaways are back as a beloved feature of The Coverings Lounge, taking place April 30 and May 1, starting at 4 p.m. Attendees can enjoy a lively atmosphere with cold drinks, great company and fun-filled raffles. Participants must be present to win.
