Gary Sinise to headline keynote
Coverings 2026 will feature Gary Sinise, award-winning actor, philanthropist and founder of the Gary Sinise Foundation, in a keynote-style conversation with industry leaders. The session will take place April 1 from 8:30–9:15 a.m. PDT. Sinise, known for his advocacy of service and community, will speak to professionals in architecture, design and construction who are shaping the built environment.
Two leading Coverings exhibitors are sponsoring the keynote. MAPEI Corporation is the headline sponsor and PROFLEX Products, Inc. is the supporting sponsor.
“We’re honored to welcome Gary Sinise to Coverings 2026,” said Jamie Rich, Coverings’ managing director. “His keynote participation—and the incredible work of the Gary Sinise Foundation—will deeply resonate with the Coverings community. The foundation’s commitment to building and retrofitting homes for America’s defenders, veterans and first responders mirrors the spirit of service, craftsmanship and collaboration that defines the building and construction industry and the show’s attendees.”
Sinise has built a career spanning more than four decades in film, television and theater. He is known for his Oscar-nominated role as Lt. Dan Taylor in Forrest Gump and acclaimed performances in Apollo 13, The Green Mile and CSI: NY.
He founded the Gary Sinise Foundation in 2011 to serve and honor America’s heroes. Among its many programs, the foundation builds specially adapted, mortgage-free homes for severely wounded veterans. The initiative brings together architects, builders and craftspeople. It includes tile and stone professionals who help create safe, accessible spaces for service members and their families.

Coverings Cares, the show’s philanthropic program launched in 2023, will highlight the Gary Sinise Foundation at the 2026 event. The collaboration includes a major contribution from Coverings, with attendee donations matched in part to further support the foundation’s mission.
