TISE East ’15 in Orlando on Nov. 2-5
DALLAS – The International Surface Event East is heading a bit north in Florida and south on the calendar for later this year.
Informa Exhibitions U.S. announced yesterday that the second TISE East will be in Orlando, Fla., at the Orange County Convention Center on Nov. 2-5.
Last year’s inaugural TISE East took place on Oct. 19-22 in Miami Beach, Fla.
“Hosting our event in Orlando provides a quality venue of choice that maintains affordability in terms of travel, housing and freight,”said Dana Teague, vice president with Informa Exhibitions U.S. and TISE. “When evaluating the optimal location, we surveyed both exhibitors and attendees and Orlando topped the list for both accessibility and affordability.”
TISE East 2015 exhibits will open Nov. 3 and continue through Nov. 5. The comprehensive education program will be held November 2-5, and will feature more than 45 continuing education sessions combined with numerous industry certifications, show floor tours and demos.
Last year’s TISE East featuring 185 floor covering, stone and tile exhibitors in 50,000 square feet of exhibits. Additionally, attendee demographics strongly confirmed 65% of participants were from the Southeast region of the United States.
“We had no question there was a significant need for an East Coast event. The positive response generated from TISE East 2014 reinforced this theory, creating additional business opportunities for our distinguished audience of both exhibitors and attendees,” said Amie Gilmore, CEM, TISE Director. “We achieved our goal of delivering an international audience with buyers from the important Latin American market including Mexico, South America and the Caribbean as well as attendees from Europe who are unable to travel to Las Vegas in January.”
“With the U.S. construction market poised for future growth, we expect TISE East will continue to attract new suppliers and dealers, as well as, a completely different audience you won’t see in Las Vegas,” Teague added.
