Coverings 2013: ATL’s the Class Ticket

Serving Social

Another place to learn in Hall C is Coverings Central at booth 6457, home of the new 20-minute Quick Fire sessions. Built on success of the social-media sessions presented last year in Orlando, the free presentations feature a mix of social-media topics and the synergy between tile, stone and complementary products.
