TISE East Registration Opens

DALLAS – Attendee registration is now open for The International Surface Event (TISE) East, set for this fall in Miami Beach, Fla.

The event, including StonExpo/Marmomacc Americas, will be held Oct. 19-22 at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

And, until Aug. 20, discounted rates are available for trade-show admission and industry-leading education at the show, which also includes this year’s East Coast editions of SURFACES and TileExpo.

During the four-day event, attendees will have the opportunity to view thousands of products, tools and technology on display in two exhibit halls, and attend more than 50 top-notch educational sessions, on-floor demos, networking events, certification programs and off-site tours.

The Exhibits with Education package offers the full deal – access to the show floor, on-floor education/demonstrations and full education program admission – for only $5 per attendee for Marble Institute of America (MIA) and World Floor Covering Association (WFCA) members. Non-association members pay only $15 per attendee, but only through Aug. 20. (An exhibits-only package is also available at the same prices for early registration.)

TISE East also offers a VIP Registration package with plenty of perks, including exhibit-hall access, all the education events, badge ribbon, VIP lounge access, photo-booth fast pass and more – all for $95 for WFCA and MIA members and $120 for non-members – again, through Aug. 20. A VIP package without the full educational program is $90 for members and $115 for non-members during early registration.

There’s also Launch Party By-The-Pool for TISE East on Oct. 20 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. This after-hours, all industry event will include open bar, heavy hors d’oeuvres, music and networking on the grounds of the iconic Delano Hotel. (VIP registrants with a ticket also get access to a VIP cabana.) Shuttle service will be provided to the party from the Miami Beach Convention Center. Tickets are $50 during Early Registration and $75 during Regular Registration.

Special hotel rates and room blocks are available at 13 preferred hotels, from small luxury boutique properties to large full-service lodgings, at every price point and conveniently located close to the Miami Beach Convention Center.

Guests who book through Travel Planners, the official housing provider for TISE East, will receive the added benefit of complimentary shuttle service to and from the show, as well as other special perks offered exclusively for show attendees. (A shuttle-bus pass is also included with VIP registrations.)

All the information is available at the redesigned TISE website offering a simplified, user-friendly experience. It’s part of a major rebranding effort to market the event as one cohesive brand – The International Surface Event. Consolidating the individual show sites into one is part of the web strategy to provide the most up-to-date information to exhibitors and attendees.
