A key highlight of the event is the return of The Coverings Lounge (Booth #4300), a vibrant hub where professionals converge to learn, connect, grow, and relax. This centrally located space will deliver engaging sessions, networking opportunities, presentations from tile and stone leaders, and daily happy hours with prize giveaways.

The Coverings Lounge will also feature the I.C.E. House Showhome Experience, an immersive display highlighting the future of home design.

Happy hours and giveaways are a beloved feature of The Coverings Lounge, taking place April 30 and May 1, starting at 4 p.m. Attendees can enjoy a lively atmosphere with cold drinks, great company, and fun-filled raffles.

The Coverings 2025 Rock Star Awards Ceremony, which will honor the 11th class of Coverings Rock Stars, will take place in The Coverings Lounge on April 29 from 4 to 5 p.m. The ceremony will also announce the inaugural 2025 Coverings Champions, recognizing distinguished tile and stone leaders and their outstanding contributions to the show.

The Galvanize Lounge, a feature at Coverings Atlanta, will debut at the Orlando event and unite influential leaders, emerging voices, and prominent women’s organizations across the industry.

Other programs include mindfulness workshops, an artisan showcase, and contractor tours, amongst others. Explore more of the programming schedule here.
