May 22, 2025 – ORLANDO, Fla. – Coverings, the largest and preeminent international ceramic tile and natural stone event in North America, successfully concluded its 2025 show with impressive exhibits, activations and momentum, drawing nearly 25,000 industry professionals to the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
Coverings 2025, which took place April 29 to May 2, experienced year-over-year growth with increased qualified attendance, augmented education and accelerated networking. Seventy-five percent of attendees specify or approve the purchase of materials. The upsurge reaffirms Coverings’ position as the leading business hub for the international tile and stone community. This year’s show also welcomed a vibrant mix of first-time and returning participants and saw notable attendance gains spanning key industry segments.
The four-day event extended across the convention center’s North and South Halls and 440,000 net square feet of exhibit space. In total, a dazzling international showcase of 1,000 exhibitors representing 40 countries unveiled the industry’s most advanced products in tile, stone, tools, technology and machinery products. Attendees explored fresh, creatively designed exhibit booths throughout immersive global pavilions hosted by leading tile associations and manufacturers from around the world.
“Coverings 2025 demonstrated how the global tile and stone industry continues to thrive through shared innovation, craftsmanship and collaboration,” said Jamie Rich, Coverings’ show director. “This year’s show created meaningful connections across continents and professions, inspiring new ideas and elevating the future of tile, stone, construction and design.”
Industry professionals at Coverings 2025 included distributors, retailers, fabricators, contractors, architects, designers, builders, real estate developers, journalists, bloggers and social media influencers covering the tile and stone industry. All were eager to explore cutting-edge products and gain tangible and resourceful business insights.
The event featured a robust educational program with more than 150 speakers, offering valuable learning and engagement opportunities across every sector of the industry.
Coverings 2025’s comprehensive educational program comprised 24 curated conference sessions, organized under three core tracks: Installation & Fabrication, Materials & Trends, and Workforce & Profits. These sessions, many of which reached full capacity, delivered important takeaways from recognized industry leaders who shared timely strategies, technical expertise and business intelligence. The content equipped professionals to effectively navigate evolving markets, enhance project outcomes, and champion tile and stone as preferred materials for their design, construction and installation projects.
Attendees experienced a range of show floor highlights designed to showcase the latest in tile and stone. Eight guided tours—including a Fabricator Trends Tour, three Surface Materials and the Home of the Future – Walk & Talk tours, and four National Tile Contractors Association (NTCA)-led Contractor Tours offered in both English and Spanish—provided in-depth access to innovative tools, equipment and materials. Additional self-guided Audio Tours, also available in English and Spanish, allowed visitors to explore key exhibits at their own pace through organized themes like “Health & Wellness,” “Sustainability,” “Outdoor Spaces” and “Timeless Luxury.”
New in 2025, the VIP Specifier Program was launched to provide 16 leading U.S. architects, designers and facility managers with exclusive networking opportunities, tailored show floor tours, and access to customized content designed to help streamline tile and stone product specifications and support project planning.
The year’s top ten tile trends, which were seen in eye-catching examples throughout the exhibit halls, were the subject of multiple onsite tile trends presentations and show floor tours provided by Alena Capra, Coverings spokesperson, industry ambassador and owner of Alena Capra Designs.
The Coverings Lounge returned to Orlando as a lively centerpiece of the show floor, offering an energetic space for learning, networking and project inspiration.
