The International Surface Event 2027: connect surface choices with fabrication and installation
Las Vegas brings floor coverings, stone and tile together with the technologies and practical knowledge behind finished surfaces.
February 1–4, 2027 · Las Vegas, NV · Informa Markets
The International Surface Event, known as tise, returns to Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas in February 2027. Education begins February 1, while the exhibition runs February 2–4. Informa Markets organizes the event.
Follow the material beyond its appearance
A surface is judged by more than its colour or finish. Product selection also involves the intended environment, substrate, preparation and installation method.
Bring those conditions to supplier discussions. Ask which documentation supports the proposed application and what fabrication or handling requirements accompany the material.
Materials and machinery in one visit
The event serves floor covering, stone and tile businesses. That creates an opportunity to compare a material alongside the tools and processes used to deliver it as a finished surface.
For a fabricator, consider how an unfamiliar material might affect cutting, edge work and movement through the shop. A sample review is more useful when it includes the proposed production method.
Separate education from exhibition planning
The organizer confirms February 2–4 for the exhibit hall, with education starting the day before. Check individual session timings and pass requirements as the 2027 program develops.
Keep a clear distinction between a visual preference and a technically suitable product. The strongest outcome from the visit is an option that the project team can evaluate against its actual requirements.
