Chattanooga, Tenn.—i4F will showcase its latest flooring technologies and introduce an artificial intelligence (AI) agent here at the 2026 Synergy Convention & Expo, scheduled for Nov. 10-12 at the Chattanooga Convention Center.
The company will host a private reception, demonstrate its CeraGrout flooring and wall technology and offer hands-on installation experiences at booth 104.
Matthieu Dekens, president of i4F Inc. and Nicholas Wodtke, U.S. commercial manager, will attend the event alongside the company’s new AI agent. Trained on i4F’s technologies, the AI agent answers questions in real time and continues learning from interactions. Attendees can interact with the agent at the company’s reception and booth.
“Synergy is all about bringing the flooring installation community together, making it the perfect environment for us to share new ideas and, importantly, hear directly from installers,” Dekens said. “Our partnership with CFI reflects that same commitment to education and hands-on experience. We want installers to work with our technologies, put them to the test and tell us what they think. Our AI agent takes that dialogue a step further. It makes our knowledge available whenever installers need it and every question it answers helps us understand what matters most to them.”
Certified Flooring Installers (CFI) is organizing the convention in partnership with the Flooring Contractors Association (FCICA) and Flooring Consultants & Inspection Training (FCITS).
The three-day event brings together flooring installers, contractors, inspectors, manufacturers and distributors for education and networking.
Hands-on demonstrations
i4F will begin its convention activities with an invitation-only reception the evening before the event opens. Attendees will have an opportunity to preview the company’s latest technologies and provide feedback.
During the convention, i4F will present a live demonstration that will feature i4F CeraGrout for floors and walls. The technology combines the appearance of ceramic tile with integrated grout. CeraGrout offers water resistance, durability and stain resistance while allowing faster installation than traditional ceramic tile.
Visitors can also test i4F’s drop-lock installation technology at a demonstration station adjacent to the booth.
