The World Ceramic Tiles Forum 2026 will take place from 8 to 11 November 2026 at the Crowne Plaza San José La Sabana in San José, Costa Rica. The annual meeting brings together representatives of ceramic tile manufacturers and industry associations to discuss developments shaping the global ceramic tile sector. 

Established in 1994, the World Ceramic Tiles Forum provides an international platform for exchanging knowledge about ceramic tile production, consumption, trade and industry competitiveness. Its discussions address market trends, technical standards, regulatory developments and issues affecting manufacturers across different countries.

Sustainability and environmental performance are important topics for the ceramic tile industry. The forum provides opportunities to discuss decarbonisation, circularity, resource efficiency and initiatives that support the long-term competitiveness of ceramic tile manufacturing.

The event also addresses international trade statistics, trade barriers and customs classifications. These subjects are relevant to manufacturers, exporters, industry associations and other professionals following changes in international ceramic tile markets.

The 2026 meeting will be organised alongside ISO TC 189 committee meetings at the same venue from 11 to 14 November. These subsequent meetings focus on ceramic tile standardisation, and participation is restricted to ISO TC 189 committee members. 

For ceramic tile manufacturers, exporters, technical specialists and industry professionals, the World Ceramic Tiles Forum 2026 offers a focused opportunity to follow international industry discussions and understand the challenges and opportunities influencing ceramic tile production and trade.
