AWFS®Fair recently hosted 40 percent more exhibitors this year than in 2021 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV. AWFS is touted as a must-see event to reconnect with the industry at-large while taking advantage of networking opportunities to meet with other woodworking pros. The AWFS also is where new products are often launched. The New Product Showcase and special industry awards spotlight the best new ideas and give attendees a complete look at what is available now to help businesses stay current and competitive.

From the largest machinery manufacturers to cutting-edge software providers, an impressive lineup of industry leaders and innovators converged at the 2023 show, creating an opportunity for businesses to leave a lasting impression on the thousands of buyers who attended the 2023 Fair.

Additionally, the “AWFS®Fair Live” booth, a stage on the show floor at AWFS, offered presentations and events throughout the show. Some of these were:

WED Talks (Wood Education Talks) returned to AWFS. The three presentations featured design guru and High Point royalty Jane Dagmi, renowned chairmaker Brian Boggs, and closet industry expert Eric Marshall.

An economic update with Dr. Chris Kuehl and supply chain discussion featuring “Five Factors to Watch This Year and Next” was among the many presentations.
