WIA Chair's Welcome Letter
We are honored to bring together the professionals, innovators, and businesses that drive our industry forward and are grateful to have you join us for North America's premier woodworking technology and design trade show.
As the organization behind IWF, WIA is committed to advancing the woodworking industry through education, advocacy, workforce development, and programs that invest in its future, including grants and scholarships. IWF is one of the many ways we support that mission by creating opportunities for our industry to connect, discover, and grow.
Over the next four days, you’ll explore the latest machinery, software, materials, and manufacturing solutions from leading companies around the world. You’ll gain fresh insights through educational programming, connect with trusted colleagues, build new partnerships, and experience the innovations that are shaping the future of woodworking.
For more than 50 years, IWF has been where ideas are exchanged and businesses find new opportunities to succeed. We are proud to continue that tradition and to provide a place where the woodworking community can come together to learn from one another and shape the future of our industry.
Thank you for being part of IWF and for the role you play in the continued success of our industry. We wish you a productive, rewarding, and inspiring week.
Sincerely,
Joe Hammock
