The largest international tile and stone event in North America, Coverings 2026 convened thousands of industry professionals from around the world at the Las Vegas Convention Center March 30–April 2, reaffirming the annual show’s position as the premier marketplace for tile, stone, design innovation, and global business exchange.
The four-day event, which spanned the convention center’s large North and Central Halls, attracted highly qualified attendees with strong buying power across all industry segments—77% of whom were directly involved in purchasing or specifying products.
Architects, builders, contractors, designers, distributors, fabricators, installers, retailers, and other professionals explored creatively designed, immersive displays showcasing the latest in tile, stone, machinery, tools, technology, and installation products. 750 exhibitors from nearly 40 countries participated in Coverings 2026.
“Coverings is where the international tile and stone industry comes together to forge new relationships, gain education, explore the newest trends and products, and take advantage of unique opportunities for business growth and development,” said Jamie Rich, Coverings Managing Director. “The event’s ‘for the industry, by the industry’ commitment ensures every decision centers on delivering an event that is inclusive, impactful, and valuable for all who exhibit and attend. Hosting Coverings in Las Vegas this year expanded the show’s reach, bringing the industry together in one of the world’s premier destinations for business and innovation.”
Attendance from California and Nevada increased 412% compared to Coverings 2025, when the show took place in Orlando. The architect and designer (A&D) attendee segments also saw an increase at Coverings 2026. A&D attendance was up 24% compared to Coverings 2022, which was the last time Coverings was hosted in Las Vegas.
“The Coverings show was an incredible experience,” said Jana Donohoe of Jana Donohoe Designs/Shape Space. “The range of tile and stone on display was not only impressive but truly valuable for designers looking to stay current, inspired, and informed. It’s an environment that sparks creativity and exposes you to materials and applications you simply wouldn’t encounter otherwise.”
