Last night Coverings introduced its second class of “Rock Stars” – representing emerging leaders in the tile and stone industry. The ten 2016 honorees were selected from more than 54 candidates and announced during the show’s Opening Night Celebration, which kicked off a series of events that provide the group with exclusive access to mentorship and networking.

“Coverings is honored to welcome the second class of influential young industry leaders into its Rock Stars program,” said Karin Fendrich, Coverings show director. “The future and continued success of the tile and stone industry is dependent on the many talents represented by this diverse group of professionals, and we look forward to the innovative ideas and leadership they will continue to share in the years ahead.”

We offer our congratulations to this impressive group!
