Sights Set On 2026
It’s hard to believe that it’s already December, but I think we can all agree that we’re ready for a new year and a fresh start! At the Hardwood Manufacturers Association (HMA), we’re staying busy and making preparations for our 2026 National Conference and Expo, which will take place Wednesday–Friday,
March 25–27, at the Hyatt Regency Riverfront in Jacksonville, Florida.
Held annually, NatCon is HMA’s signature event. The three-day conference is packed with meetings, inspiring speakers, and thought-provoking learning sessions. And of course, the expo hours and receptions offer the industry’s most revered networking opportunities with colleagues—new and old.
Over the past several years, we’ve convened at NatCon to discuss Investing in the Future, becoming Agents of Changes, outlining Pathways to Success, and planning for our industry’s Evolution. This coming March, we’ll convene to prepare and equip you and your business for our industry’s Resurgence.
Read all the details, take care of your registration, and book your hotel accommodation online at HMAmembers.org. And as a reminder, HMA’s National Conference and Expo is open to all industry stakeholders—members, non-members, and industry suppliers.
A Year-End Thank You
Before we say goodbye to 2025, HMA staff would like to thank the companies that have supported HMA’s promotional and educational efforts. Your contributions enabled HMA to influence homeowners through editorial and social media content, educate the design/build community via CEUs, and position American Hardwoods™ as the natural choice for today’s homes and commercial spaces.
