Surfaces 2005 Registration Now Open

Dallas TX, August 30----It’s never too early to start planning for Surfaces. And now it’s easier than ever to make arrangements for the show. “Surfaces Online Housing opened in July, but is already running 43% ahead of last year. We are on pace to have one of the biggest shows to date,” says Michelle Troop, senior Show Director, Surfaces. Registration and housing arrangements are now live and can be completed online at www.SurfacesExpo.com. This year’s online attendee registration form has been modified to make it easier to sign up for the show. Attendees who register for Surfaces by December 30, 2004 get free exhibits admission and discounted pricing on conference and events. For the best deals on housing, airfare and car rental, attendees should sign up as soon as possible. There are a variety of hotel prices to accommodate every budget, plus discounts are available on the web site for airfare and car rentals for added savings. Hotel rooms are going fast—with housing reservations 40% ahead of this time last year, it’s important to book housing now while the greatest selection is still available. Attendees will find more to see and do at this Surfaces than any other. With more exhibiting companies and increased product introductions, attendees will have more choices to fill their stores with and keep up with consumer demand. Added Bonus this year…Lower pricing on the Surfaces 2005 Conference Program, which has 41 information-packed sessions that take place throughout the show. Attendees who register by December 30, 2004 will save as much as $175. For complete course descriptions and speaker bios, visit www.SurfacesExpo.com. Surfaces’ all new format for Town Hall will bring an exciting, controversial topic to life for attendees at the 2005 show. Find out how floor covering retailers can combat big box retailers—and other groups—in their quest to take all consumer business. Those who register by December 30, 2004 will get in for just $10. Many other exciting highlights are planned for Surfaces 2005, including the Installation Showcase, which will feature live, how-to demonstrations on the show floor. All aspects of flooring installation will be showcased to help both retailers and installers perform installations correctly the first time, saving time and money on costly call-backs. This feature is brought to you by the World Floor Covering Association (WFCA), Certified Floorcovering Installers (CFI), National Floor Trends and Floor Covering Installer magazines and is free with exhibits admission. Surfaces 2005 will take place January 26-28 at the Sands Expo & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada USA.
