LAS VEGAS – The International Surface Event (TISE) hosted more than 700 global brands across 25 countries showcasing stone, tile, and flooring solutions during its run at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center here late last month.
This year’s event on Jan. 28-30 featured a mix of returning and new programs designed to meet today’s needs of professionals across the broad range of audiences the platforms serve.
Making its debut this year was the Natural Stone Specialty Program, highlighting topics including economic climate, silica impacts and advancing sustainability. The program provided tailored education and resources for stone professionals, along with a tour of the nearby quarry and processing plant of Las Vegas Rock.
The What’s Hot – Best of TISE 2025 Awards honored standout products in both the Surfaces and Tile + Stone groups in categories of Style & Design, Sustainability, Technology and Innovation.
Live demonstrations and training sessions, held in collaboration with the Stone Fabricators’ Alliance, World Floor Covering Association, Natural Stone Institute, and the National Tile Contractors Association provided hands-on education on effective tile and stone installation techniques, and evolving market trends in retail and design.
Off the show floor, more than 80 sessions covering critical industry trends, challenges and opportunities for long-term growth in a shifting market took place. Discussions included insights on how businesses can develop strategies, adopt technologies and embrace innovation to stay ahead of changes.
Dana Hicks, group event director for TISE, saidthe show is the ultimate industry event for inspiration and sourcing for tile and stone professionals, and organizers recognize evolving market conditions and the need to look ahead at the future,
