Surfaces To Feature New NWFA Pavilion

Dallas, TX, Sept. 28, 2012 -- Trade show Surfaces and the National Wood Flooring Association have partnered to create a dedicated hardwood flooring pavilion to be introduced at the 2013 show Jan. 29-31 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.

The new NWFA Pavilion will host several hardwood flooring manufacturers and suppliers, along with the NWFA and Hardwood Floors magazine networking lounge, where members and prospective members can network and browse through the products on display.

The NWFA Pavilion is located in Bayside Exhibit Hall on Level One of the Mandalay Bay Exhibit Hall in a high traffic area situated on a main aisle and in close proximity to the S² Theater.

Exhibitors will receive as part of their booth package a customizable turn-key display with brochure holder as well as the added benefits of displaying their products within the NWFA sponsored pavilion.

Companies also have the opportunity to utilize the S² Theater to demonstrate the installation of their products.

“NWFA and Hardwood Floors traditionally have exceptional booth traffic that our pavilion exhibitors and member attendees can now capitalize on,” says NWFA President & CEO Michael Martin.

“By providing a reduced cost to exhibit, a centralized place to network, and education through a demo stage, our exhibitors and members receive additional value by attending Surfaces.  In addition, NWFA can expand the awareness of wood flooring throughout the flooring industry with a larger presence that simply can't be missed on the show floor.”

Companies interested in exhibiting in the NWFA Pavilion should contact Kerry Cree at kcree@hanleywood.com or 972.536.6356 for more information.
