SURFACES| StonExpo/Marmomacc Americas will share the exhibition date with the International Builders’ Show (IBS) and the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in 2015 to join Design | Construction Week in Las Vegas

SURFACES | StonExpo/Marmomacc Americas will  be  located at the  Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada on  January 21 – January 23, 2015, while the International Builders’ Show and the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show will  be  located at the  Las Vegas Convention Center on  January 20 to January 22, 2015. Each show will  remain separate and distinct, however the  co-date arrangement will  allow attendees from all four events the  opportunity to conveniently attend all.

“The co-dating with IBS and KBIS in 2015 is a major advancement for  SURFACES | StonExpo/Marmomacc Americas. This strategic agreement adds value for  both the  buyers and exhibitors at both venues,” explained Dana Teague, Group Director, SURFACES | StonExpo/Marmomacc Americas.  “We are very excited about this new partnership and look forward to seeing our attendees and exhibitors reap the benefits that will ensue.”

The official sponsoring organizations of SURFACES | StonExpo/Marmomacc Americas, World Floor Covering Association (WFCA), Marble Institute of America (MIA), and Natural Stone Council (NSC) are  equally as  optimistic about the co-dating of the  four shows.

“For the  first time ever, industry professionals from all  sides of the  consumer housing spectrum will  be  able to meet, interface and collaborate in one place. The creation of Design | Construction Week in Las Vegas in 2015, along with its  all-access pass, will  give attendees of all  four shows an  advantage that cannot be replicated anywhere in the world,” said Cammie Weitzel, General Manager of World Floor Covering Association.

“The opportunity to bring four great industries/events together in one city  for  a mega-construction week is collaboration at its best,” said Jim Hieb, Executive Vice President & CEO of Marble Institute of America.
