News for 2022 Exhibitors
 
 
Exhibitor Update is the all-new way to help you stay on top of important information key to your show experience. Published twice monthly, Exhibitor Update provides quick-read details on operational deadlines, marketing opportunities and show enhancements essential to your IWF 2022 business.
 
 
Here’s a quick look at what’s happening now and next at IWF for your 2022 show planning:
 
 
  • Alert! It has been brought to IWF show management’s attention that a company named the Source Group, LLC is aggressively soliciting the IWF 2022 exhibitors to purchase a listing in a publication named “Woodworking Industry News”. The Source Group, LLC has no affiliation with IWF and is not an approved vendor/partner for the IWF 2022 show. IWF has no plan to approve any publication from the Source Group, LLC, for distribution at the IWF 2022 show or in any of the hotels contracted with IWF for the 2022 show.

    NOTE: EAC’s will not be allowed to work in any exhibitor booth for which documentation and/or payment has not been received by deadline.
