IWF 2002 Expands into New Exhibit Space
For 2002, the International Woodworking Machinery and Furniture Supply Fair – USA^®, also known as IWF 2002, will be expanding to fill the new $220 million building currently under construction at the Georgia World Congress Center.

"This addition allows us to meet the demand for additional exhibit space that, to date, we have not been able to accommodate," commented John D. Bassett, III, IWF 2002 Chairman and President of Vaughan-Bassett Furniture Co. of Galax, Virginia.

"To date, space sales are ahead of where we were at this point for IWF 2000. The three exhibit floors are filling up quickly and we may need to expand into some of the meeting rooms and concourses to meet the increased demand. Buyers should look forward to a fabulous show," continued Bassett.

IWF 2002 will take place August 22-25, 2002 in Atlanta, GA, and is owned and sponsored by American Furniture Manufacturers Association (AFMA), Wood Machinery Manufacturers of America (WMMA), Woodworking Machinery Industry Association (WMIA).

The largest trade show of its kind in the Western Hemisphere, IWF expects to host buyers from more than 90 countries and will include a Technical Conference Program, a New Product Showcase, the Challengers Distinguished Achievement Awards^® and Design Emphasis 2002 student furniture design competition among other features.
