IWF Atlanta organizers look forward to a strong show.
IWF Atlanta is ready to put on a great show.
Patrick LaFramboise, IWF president and CEO, says all signs continue to point to a strong IWF this summer.
“Advance registration of attendees is pacing 35%+ ahead and growing,” he says. “Companies that had been holding off returning are coming back and new companies are signing up every week. We're excited about what we are seeing. It's going to be a good show.”
The International Woodworking Fair (IWF) in Atlanta, which will run Aug. 22-25, will feature hundreds of exhibitors and even more ways for business to improve, learn and survive.
LaFramboise says with business picking up again, visiting this year’s show will be the smartest investment of time and resources because the show will offer the latest in technology, education and networking opportunities.
IWF Atlanta is the largest exhibition for the industry and nowhere else in North America “will you find so many solutions for your business ... IWF has the most manufacturers and suppliers assembled in one place to help you make your business better.”
The show will feature hundreds of new products, more than 130 first-time exhibitors, new product showcase, more educational sessions, the finalists for the Challenger Award and much, much more.
The Challenger Award, one of the woodworking industry’s highest honours, which will be presented during IWF 2012, recognizes advancements in technology or significant contributions to environmental improvement.
Show organizers have also worked hard with area retailers and the Atlanta hospitality sector to develop discounts on dining, attractions and amenities throughout the city.
“We are ready to put on a great show,” says LaFramboise.
