Biggest Surfaces Ever

Dallas, TX, Mar. 4—Surfaces 2003 wasn’t hindered a bit by a sluggish economy, setting records in attendance, number of exhibiting companies and net square feet of exhibit space. The show, which was sponsored by the World Floor Covering Association, had a total attendance of 40,389, and also set records with 938 exhibiting companies in over 535,000 net square feet of exhibit space. "Surfaces 2003 was definitely the most impressive ever," says Chris Davis, CEO of the WFCA. "Everyone I talked with, exhibitor and attendee alike, was upbeat about the show and what they were getting out of it. Every aspect of the show came off seamlessly and exceeded the expectations of everyone I came in contact with." The Surfaces 2003 Conference Program, sponsored by Mannington, proved to have another successful line up of pre-show workshops and seminars in five tracks. Close to 3,000 tickets were sold to the 39 sessions. Attendees also took advantage of the fact that many of the classes were approved for WFCA Continuing Education Units, as well as ASID, AIBD and IIDA certification credits.
