IWF 2002 Takes the Lead
Not only was IWF 2002 the largest event in its 36-year history; preliminary indications are that, while overall attendance was down 9.2% to 42,755, the buyers that attended were serious about improving their business, investing in new technology and exploring new production methods to improve efficiency.

Buyers had more to see at IWF than ever before. With the completion of the Phase IV expansion of the Georgia World Congress Center, exhibit space at IWF grew by more than 18% to total 834,272 net square feet occupied by 1,333 exhibiting companies, 320 of which were new to IWF.

IWF 2002 was truly an international event. Preliminary analysis of the attendance indicates that buyers from 93 countries traveled to attend the show from such locations as Australia, China, Bulgaria, Egypt, Ghana, Mongolia, Peru, South Africa and Vietnam.

The next IWF will take place August 26-29, 2004 in Atlanta, GA at the Georgia World Congress Center. It will showcase machinery, supplies and services for both large manufacturers and small professional shops in the woodworking, furniture, cabinetry, solid surface, architectural woodwork, store fixtures and plastic fabricating industries.

The largest trade show of its kind in the Western Hemisphere, IWF is owned and sponsored by American Furniture Manufacturers Association (AFMA), Wood Machinery Manufacturers of America (WMMA) and the Woodworking Machinery Industry Association (WMIA.
