Surfaces Named as One of Top Trade Shows

Dallas, TX, September 19, 2007--Surfaces has been named by Tradeshow Week as one of the 50 fastest-growing tradeshows in North America. The designation is based on the percentage of growth and the total net square footage growth from 2004 to 2006.

Surfaces, which is held every year at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas, grew from 912 exhibiting companies in 455,778 net square feet of space in 2004 to 1,063 exhibiting companies in 503,106 net square feet of space in 2006.

“We are honored to be selected from more than 13,000 trade shows held in the United States and Canada,” said Dana Teague, show director of Hanley Wood Exhibitions. “It is truly a thrill to receive such a prestigious award, which we share with our exhibiting manufacturers, professional attendees, and our official sponsor, the World Floor Covering Association, all of which make the show a success.”

Surfaces 2008 will take place January 30-February 1. The Conference Program will run January 29-February 1.
