01 Purple at Tile Solutions Plus 2027

Four tile groups, one 8×10 table: Tile Solutions Plus 2027 booths, Miami Beach

We build tabletop displays that let a tile distributor or contractor owner see your product, your setting system and your price story in the time it takes to refill a coffee. Purple's tabletop kits stand inside the draped 8×10 space the planning committee assigns.

  • 2027 dates not confirmed yet
  • 8×10 tabletops, $2,500 (2026)
  • Run by 4 tile associations

What makes Tile Solutions Plus different, and how we build for it

Tile Solutions Plus is not a hall show.The Ceramic Tile Distributors Association, National Tile Contractors Association, Tile Council of North America and Tile Contractors' Association of America run it together each year to bring the tile industry's owners into one hotel for education, networking and leisure. Exhibitors get an 8×10 tabletop, skirted and enclosed by rods and drape, placed first come, first served by the planning committee, and the tabletops open for one afternoon: in 2026, Monday, November 2 at Loews Miami Beach. Some events are open only to members of a given association, so the buyers you meet at a table are often the same owners you sit beside at dinner.

Tile distributor owners

CTDA members run distribution businesses; they want to know what a new line adds to their mix, the margin, the minimums and how the manufacturer supports them with samples and displays.

Tile contractor owners

NTCA and TCAA contractors care about installation: setting materials, membranes, tools and whether a product saves labor on a real job, so a short demo or a cut sample beats a brochure.

Manufacturer executives

TCNA manufacturers attend as peers and potential partners; they look at suppliers of tools, packaging and services, and at what distributors and contractors are asking for.

Tile Solutions Plus rules that shape your booth

Displays stay within the drape

Each 8×10 space is skirted and enclosed by rods and drape, and exhibitors may use free-standing displays only within the draped area (2026 rules). We build tabletop kits that stand on their own inside that footprint.

Organizer rule

Paid in full, placed in order

Full payment is due at registration, and the planning committee assigns tabletop locations first come, first served (2026 rules). We help you register the day it opens and send the logo files the committee asks for.

Organizer rule

Some events are members-only

Schedule events marked CTDA, NTCA, TCAA or TCNA are open only to members of that association (2026). We plan your team's day so the people at your Tile Solutions Plus table are free when the tabletops open.

Organizer rule

Programs worth planning for

Tile Solutions Plus sponsorships

Exclusive and package sponsorships with recognition in promotional materials before the conference and signage during it; prices are in the organizers' sponsorship opportunities PDF.

Official details

Education program

Sessions led by tile industry experts for distributor, contractor and manufacturer owners and managers, run alongside the tabletops.

Official details

Activities

Networking, sports and leisure events that fill the schedule around sessions, where most of the relationship-building with distributor and contractor owners happens.

Official details

Tile Solutions Plus is the four-association tile owners' conference with 8×10 tabletops; choose it over Coverings when you want quiet time with distributor and contractor owners rather than a hall full of architects and designers.

KLEEMANN booth by Purple Exhibits, one of our case studies for Tile Solutions Plus planning

Case study · KLEEMANN

KLEEMANN at an industrial technology exhibition

An interactive booth for a global elevator manufacturer, combining digital simulations and real product showcases on a floor plan that led visitors from first step to last.

KLEEMANN's booth walked visitors through a product from first step to last; at a tile tabletop the same idea fits on one board, showing tile, mortar and membrane as one system.

Four things we get right for Tile Solutions Plus exhibitors

Patterned cement tile floor in blue, brown and gold1

Fit the draped 8×10

Each Tile Solutions Plus space is skirted and enclosed by rods and drape, and free-standing displays must stay inside that area. We build a backdrop and sample tower that stand on their own within the 8×10, so nothing leans on the drape.

One afternoon to be seen

In 2026 the tabletops are open 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on a single Monday. We design a display that sets up in under an hour from one case, so your team spends the morning in sessions and the afternoon at the table.

Show the system, not just the tile

Contractor owners from NTCA and TCAA buy installation outcomes. We mount a cutaway board showing tile, setting material and membrane together, so a contractor sees the system you sell in one glance.

Ship to a hotel, not a dock

Tile Solutions Plus runs in a hotel, with shipping, furniture, power and AV ordered through separate links. We pack the tabletop kit in cases sized for hotel receiving and order power for lit graphics through the official form.

Tile Solutions Plus exhibitor questions

Questions exhibitors ask us before Tile Solutions Plus

When is Tile Solutions Plus 2027?

The 2027 dates are not confirmed yet. The organizers publish each edition on tilesolutionsplus.com, and the latest published one, Tile Solutions Plus 2026, is dated November 1–3, 2026 in Miami Beach. The 2025 edition ran October 27–29, 2025.

Where is Tile Solutions Plus 2027 held?

The 2027 location is not confirmed yet; the city has changed between editions. The 2026 edition is at Loews Miami Beach, 1601 Collins Avenue, about 11 miles from Miami International Airport.

Who organizes Tile Solutions Plus?

Four associations together: the Ceramic Tile Distributors Association (CTDA), the National Tile Contractors Association (NTCA), the Tile Council of North America (TCNA) and the Tile Contractors' Association of America (TCAA). Some events on the schedule are open only to members of the association that hosts them.

How much does a tabletop at Tile Solutions Plus cost?

For 2026 an 8×10 tabletop space was priced at $2,500, or $2,700 with a push notification sent to attendees on tabletop day; the 2027 price is not confirmed yet. It includes one full-conference registration, a draped 6-foot table, two chairs, a wastebasket and a company sign.

Can we bring our own display to Tile Solutions Plus?

Exhibitors bring their own display materials, and free-standing displays are allowed as long as they stay within the draped area of the 8×10 space. We build backdrops, sample towers and table risers that meet that rule and set up without tools.

When are the Tile Solutions Plus tabletops open?

For 2027 the tabletop hours are not confirmed yet. The 2026 tabletops were scheduled for one afternoon, Monday, November 2, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., so the whole exhibit happens in four hours.

How are tabletop locations assigned?

First come, first served by the planning committee, with full payment due at registration. In 2026 exhibitors had to send a 400 dpi logo in JPEG plus Illustrator or EPS by August 24, and location choice was not guaranteed after that date.

Can we sponsor Tile Solutions Plus?

The organizers offer exclusive and package sponsorships, all with recognition in pre-conference promotion and signage during the event; details are in the sponsorship opportunities PDF. In 2026, sponsors had to register by August 14 to appear in printed signage.

Who attends Tile Solutions Plus?

Owners and managers from tile distribution, tile contracting and tile manufacturing, the member bases of CTDA, NTCA, TCAA and TCNA. It is a small, senior crowd: the people who decide which lines a distributor carries and which systems a contractor installs.

Is Tile Solutions Plus a trade show?

It is a conference with tabletop exhibits, not a hall show: education sessions, networking, sports and leisure activities, and one tabletop session. The value for exhibitors is time with owners in a relaxed setting rather than aisle traffic.

Where should we stay for Tile Solutions Plus?

For 2026 the block was at Loews Miami Beach at $339 a night plus a $25 resort fee, with a cutoff of October 9, 2026. 2027 housing is not confirmed yet; the organizers post the hotel with each edition.

What should we wear at Tile Solutions Plus?

The dress code is casual: slacks, polo or open-neck shirts, sweaters or walking shorts, with no ties or jackets, per the 2026 general information. The organizers suggest layers because meeting rooms run cool, which matters for staff at the table.

Is Tile Solutions Plus worth exhibiting at?

For a tile, setting-material or tool supplier selling through distributors and contractors, it is a rare chance to meet owners from all four associations in one hotel. With one tabletop afternoon, it works best alongside a Coverings or TISE booth.

Before you sign for Tile Solutions Plus

Five things to ask every builder quoting Tile Solutions Plus:

  1. Are all fees on paper, including what the contractor at the venue bills?
  2. Who builds the Tile Solutions Plus booth: your own shop or a subcontractor?
  3. Will your project manager be on the floor at the venue for install and dismantle?
  4. What exactly is in the rental, and what is billed by the show?
  5. Once Tile Solutions Plus closes, where does the booth go and what does storage cost?

Common situations

Already own a booth? We refresh its graphics, repair what is worn, ship and install it for Tile Solutions Plus, and store it between shows. You keep the structure you paid for and bring it to Tile Solutions Plus.

Exhibiting from outside the US? We are your team on the ground at the venue: freight to the advance warehouse, show-service orders, installation and storage, with one project manager on your emails in your time zone.

Short on time? In two to three weeks, a rental with your graphics can be ready for the host city. We tell you on the first call what is realistic before Tile Solutions Plus.
