The Flooring Show has grown year on year since it began, and now it will be taking up its fifth exhibition hall in the Harrogate Convention Centre, from Sunday 17th to Tuesday 19th September. Hall Q will be home to even more exhibitors and a few new features that you’ll definitely want to see!
Brand new for the 2017 show is the Contract Zone, sponsored by the CFA. This area will focus solely on the contract sector of flooring, with its own features dedicated to visitors involved in the contract side of the flooring industry.
CPD Seminars will take place across Monday 18th and Tuesday 19th September in Hall Q. These seminars will give visitors the chance to add to their professional development. CPD Seminars will ensure academic and practical qualifications do not become out-dated or obsolete, allowing individuals to continually ‘up skill’ or ‘re-skill’ themselves, regardless of occupation, age or educational level.
Confirmed CPD Seminars so far include:
- Scarlet Opus on behalf of Connection Seating: Workplace Design
- Interface: Biophilic Design
- Tektura: Wall Coverings
- UK SIKA: Wood Floor Bonding
Keep an eye on The Flooring Show website www.theflooringshow.com, for updates.
Scarlet Opus will curate the Trends Hub, which will be split into two spaces that will represent the future desires of consumers. The first area will provide ideas about how a workplace can be inspiring, efficient, encourage high performance and give a sense of wellbeing. The second space will represent a portion of how hotel lounges will and are developing to cater for the Digital Nomads of business.
