Architects attending can view a variety of special exhibits covering the fire resistant qualities of ceramic tile, which is a non-combustible product that does not spread or feed a fire (University of Bologna).
Other exhibits focus on the benefits of permeable paving systems, a practical pool tiling demonstration, a stone carving exhibit and a challenging tiling competition. Architects will receive information on all prime exhibits.
