Africa’s first dedicated business-to-business (B2B) flooring exhibition will debut in Johannesburg from 15-16 May, bringing together industry leaders to tackle key challenges facing the industry.
The inaugural FLOORS in Africa Expo, hosted by The Media in Africa Group (MIAG), is a first of its kind trade show specifically aimed at the business of flooring.
Targeted at industry leaders, architects, developers, buyers, and specifiers, the two-day expo, supported by Polysales and FloorWorx, will be held at the Indaba Hotel in Fourways.
Marlene van Rooyen, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of MIAG, highlights the value of uniting industry professionals at an event solely focused on flooring.
“Since the fragmentation of the industry following the Covid-19 pandemic, there’s a real need for open dialogue that leads to practical outcomes. The FLOORS in Africa Expo is the continent’s only exhibition solely dedicated to flooring, and it’s designed to become the industry’s flagship event. It’s a flooring exhibition in Africa, for Africa.”
The expo will bring together manufacturers and suppliers of flooring systems, adhesives, installation tools and equipment and ancillary products for two days of specialised demos, exhibits and networking opportunities.
Confirmed exhibitors include some of the biggest brands in flooring. This includes functional flooring, laminates and decking, vinyl floor coverings and tiles, as well as equipment and accessory suppliers and manufacturers.
In addition to the exhibition, the expo will host talks led by both local and international experts, covering industry trends, innovations, and sector challenges.
Van Rooyen says, “Whether you’re an industry professional, architect, or supplier exploring new opportunities, the FLOORS in Africa Expo is the essential event of the year.”
Across the two days, attendees can experience new product launches from top brands and exclusive show-only deals unavailable online. Furthermore, the first 100 people through the door will receive exclusive goody bags.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to win a 5.5kW generator in a special event giveaway, while enjoying live entertainment and a complimentary craft beer in the expo’s beer garden.
