Choosing the right shows matters more than almost anything you put in the booth. This calendar covers the main 2027 trade shows for tile, stone and flooring brands: the big U.S. events where most buying happens, the design shows where products get specified, and the international fairs where trends start.
For each show we list the dates, venue, who attends, and who it’s best for.
Last checked: November 2026. Dates come from show organizers. Always confirm on the official site before booking.

The big U.S. shows
1. TISE: The International Surface Event
When: February 2–4, 2027 (expo hall)
Where: Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV
The first major surfaces show of the year, covering flooring, tile and stone together. TISE brings flooring retailers, distributors, designers, fabricators and installers to one floor. It’s the main buying show for flooring, including LVP, carpet, hardwood and laminate, and a strong show for tile and stone.
Best for: brands that sell through retailers and distributors.
Booth tip: use your product as the booth floor, so visitors can walk on it.

2. KBIS: Kitchen & Bath Industry Show
When: February 2–4, 2027
Where: Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV
Part of Design & Construction Week, together with the Builders’ Show. KBIS brings together kitchen and bath designers, dealers, remodelers and manufacturers, and more than 600 exhibitors are expected. Tile, stone and quartz brands that sell into kitchen and bath projects have a strong audience here.
Best for: backsplash, wall tile, countertop and bathroom surface brands.
Booth tip: show your products in kitchen and bath vignettes, not sample walls.
3. NAHB International Builders’ Show (IBS)
When: February 2–4, 2027
Where: Las Vegas, NV (co-located with KBIS)
The largest residential construction show in the U.S. Home builders, remodelers, architects and developers come to find products for new homes.
Best for: brands that sell to builders in volume, like flooring, tile programs and building products.
Booth tip: builders care about price, installation speed and supply. Make those clear on your graphics.
4. Coverings
When: April 6–9, 2027
Where: Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, FL
The main tile and stone show in North America, with strong international participation. Distributors, retailers, designers, contractors and fabricators all attend. Orlando hosts for three years in a row starting in 2027.
Best for: any tile or stone manufacturer or importer serious about the U.S. market.
Booth tip: show large-format products installed as walls, counters and floors, not leaning on a wall.

Design and commercial shows
5. NeoCon
When: June 13–16, 2027 (June 13 is a preview day)
Where: The Mart, Chicago, IL
The leading show for commercial interiors. Architects and designers come to specify materials for offices, hospitality, healthcare and education projects.
Best for: commercial flooring, tile and surface brands that sell to the A&D (architecture and design) community.
Booth tip: designers want samples, specs and good photography. Make sample pickup easy.
6. Greenbuild
When: October 19–22, 2027
Where: City to be announced
Focused on sustainable building. A good fit if your products have strong environmental credentials, such as recycled content, low emissions or certifications.
Best for: brands with a clear sustainability story.
Booth tip: put your certifications and data on the graphics. This audience reads them.
7. Tile Solutions Plus (TSP)
When: 2027 dates to be announced (the 2026 event was November 1–3 in Miami Beach)
Formerly Total Solutions Plus, this is the industry conference run by the tile associations (CTDA, NTCA, TCNA and TCAA). It’s smaller and more focused on relationships than a big expo, but it puts you in the room with decision-makers across distribution and contracting.
Best for: manufacturers building relationships with distributors and contractors.
International shows to know
8. Cersaie
When: September 27 – October 1, 2027
Where: Bologna, Italy
The world’s leading ceramic tile and bathroom show. Even if you don’t exhibit, many U.S. brands visit to see where design trends are going before they show up at TISE and Coverings.
9. Cevisama
When: February 2027 (confirm with organizer; the show has changed its format recently)
Where: Valencia, Spain
Spain’s main ceramics show. It’s important for Spanish manufacturers and for buyers sourcing Spanish tile.
Note on Domotex
Domotex in Hanover, Germany, the big international flooring show, has announced its next edition for January 17–20, 2028.
How to choose your shows
- Follow your buyers. Selling to retailers and distributors points to TISE and Coverings. Selling to designers points to NeoCon. Selling to builders points to IBS.
- Pick one "main" show and do it well. A great booth at one show beats a weak booth at three.
- Use the Las Vegas week. TISE, KBIS and IBS all run February 2–4. Even if you exhibit at only one, your team can meet buyers at all three.
- Plan one booth for several shows. A modular custom booth can be set up as a 20×20 at Coverings and a 10×20 at a smaller show. That lowers your cost per show.
Frequently asked questions
What is the biggest tile show in the U.S.?
Coverings is the main North American show dedicated to tile and stone. TISE is the largest show for flooring overall and also includes tile and stone.
Which tile shows are in Las Vegas in 2027?
TISE, KBIS and the International Builders’ Show all run February 2–4, 2027, in Las Vegas.
When is Coverings 2027?
April 6–9, 2027, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.
Should a U.S. tile brand exhibit at Cersaie?
Most U.S. brands visit Cersaie for trends rather than exhibit. Exhibiting makes sense if you sell internationally or want European distributors.
