Our Mission

For over 30 years, The International Surface Event has served the floor covering, stone, and tile industry as THE industry marketplace. The tise vision is to create a space where buyers and sellers gather to purchase products, gain design inspiration, and develop their businesses. We make this possible by carefully sourcing exhibiting brands, crafting content and events, and developing show features that match the needs of the industry. As the first event of the year, tise is perfectly positioned to offer product launches, critical first of the year buying opportunities, and annual meetings.

We have a mission to be the world’s most respected floor covering, stone, and tile industry marketplace. To do this, we have developed a creative and innovative team who is dedicated to connecting with the industry and is unified in driving towards the goals of the company. As the design team for Informa Global Exhibitions, the world’s largest tradeshow event organizer, we strive to grow memorable event brands that engage with the industry verticals the event supports. We exist to create experiences were passion and purpose come together.

tise has a goal of shaping the surfaces industry for a sustainable future. We know that sustainability is becoming increasingly important, and running tise gives us many opportunities to improve our impact environmentally, socially and economically in the regions we operate. We want to make tise more responsible and play a role in helping the market improve its own sustainability. We do this through connecting people with networks and knowledge to help solve the big challenges in our industry.
