Tucson 2026: A Note of Appreciation

Every February, Tucson becomes more than a destination. It becomes a reset point for the industry.

Designers arrive with ideas. Manufacturers arrive with questions. Retailers arrive with curiosity. And somehow, within a few days, conversations turn into clarity.

This year felt especially thoughtful. Less noise. More intention. Real dialogue about sourcing, production, color, and where the market is heading next.

That kind of environment doesn’t happen by accident.

AGTA continues to create a space where meaningful business can happen alongside genuine connection. A space where new partnerships form, long standing relationships deepen, and ideas are challenged in the best way.

The show floor is busy. The days are long. But the value comes from the moments in between. The honest questions. The collaborative problem solving. The shared excitement over a stone that simply works.

We’re grateful to AGTA for bringing the industry together again and for giving all of us the opportunity to move forward with more clarity than we arrived with.

Until next year.
