Surfaces, the annual exposition for floor covering and stone professionals, takes place at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas from 1/28 through 1/31/2013.

“Social Media in Action: Retailers Share Best Practices for Connecting With Customers” offers attendees an opportunity to hear directly from and ask questions of flooring dealers who successfully use social media. The session is scheduled for 1/28/13 from 3:30pm to 5pm.
