A
NSWER: For the incredible opportunity to source the
newest, most innovative products in the industry, to
negotiate deals with their business partners and
vendors, to learn about a multitude of subjects important to their
industry, and to network and see old friends – all under one roof.
That's what happened in January at TISE 2019 in Las
Vegas, held at the Mandalay Bay. TISE celebrated yet another
year of powerhouse industry attendance, exhibits, product
displays, and education. Attendees from 77 countries and
from every corner of North America came to buy, source,
network, and discover what's new, needed, and up-and-
coming for their businesses.
More than 800 brands (135 of them brand-new to the
exhibition floor!) presented their products in over 1 million square
feet of exhibits, product showrooms, features, and education
spaces. Each showroom offered beautiful displays and unique
demonstrations, amounting to thousands of products and
services for the industry to discover for their businesses.
The exhibit hall featured the return of Shaw Industries, who
presented their Anderson Tuftex, COREtec, and US Floors
lines; as well as a host of creative displays and events from
Mohawk Brands: Mohawk, Quick Step, Daltile, Marrazzi/
American Olean, PERGO, IVC, and Godfrey Hirst; plus large
sets from Mannington and Engineered Floors, as well as other
spectacular flooring, stone and tile displays.
Brands exhibiting at TISE offered products from every aspect
of the residential and commercial sectors of the flooring, tile,
and stone industry, including hard goods, soft goods, equipment,
tools, supplies and services, and so much more.
This year's market was a riot of discovery for all of the
senses across the entire exhibit hall. Key product directions
