Surfaces Showcase SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION
Viva Las Vegas
O
nce a year the entire floor covering industry gathers in Las Vegas for Surfaces; this year the show will be Jan. 29-31 and the Mandalay Bay Convention Center will again host the show. While you’re at the show, don’t miss the companies on the following pages (all advertisers in this issue). Also, make sure your first stop at the show is the National Wood Flooring Association pavilion, where NWFA and Hardwood Floors 2012 Pocket Guide will be located together with a group of exhibiting members. At the pavilion you can pick up the HF Surfaces Pocket Guide—your essential guide to the wood flooring industry at Surfaces—which includes a listing of all NWFA-member exhibitors at the big show and our exclusive map highlighting NWFA members, making navigating the two levels of the show floor a whole lot easier.
