Featuring a new location and a focused emphasis on architectural excellence, the Natural Stone Institute (NSI) is finalizing preparations for Marmomac 2026. The international association will welcome industry professionals at its new booth (Hall 11, Stand A3), serving as a primary hub for global market updates, technical standards, and material trends.
Recognizing the Texas Medical Center Helix Park
A key highlight of NSI’s programming is a special presentation on Wednesday, September 23 (1:45 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.) at the Plus Theatre (Hall 10). The event honors the 2025 Grande Pinnacle Award recipients, installer Camarata Masonry Systems and landscape architecture firm Mikyoung Kim Design, for their work on the Texas Medical Center Helix Park in Houston. The project stands out for its masterclass integration of natural stone across a 14.5-acre public space, highlighting structural durability and precision stone craftsmanship.
International Executive Networking
NSI will host its annual Stone Industry Leadership Reception that evening from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Palazzo Verità Poeta. The reception serves as a core B2B networking platform during the exhibition, bringing together international executives, quarry operators, and designers.
