ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Association of Woodworking & Furnishings Suppliers has announced the opening of attendee registration for the upcoming AWFS Fair, July 19-22, 2017 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

According to Rob Howell, sales manager for SCM Group North America and 2017 AWFS Fair chair, “The 2017 Fair will include an expanded trade show floor, which is already close to 80 percent sold (as of September 1). As exhibitors, we are excited about the upcoming show and that is very apparent by the response the association has received from repeat exhibitors, exhibitors new to the show and many that are returning to the show after sitting several out. It’s a strong market right now and people do not want to miss out on new opportunities.”

In addition to offering buyers the opportunity to view the latest machinery and woodworking supplies, AWFS Fair will, once again, feature its comprehensive educational program, College of Woodworking Knowledge (CWWK), which will address topics designed to meet the current and future needs of industry professionals, in addition to introducing several new show features that will be announced in the coming months.  A comprehensive list and description of seminars will be available in the first quarter of 2017, when CWWK registration is projected to open.

Along with registering for the show, exhibitors and attendees are also able to reserve hotel rooms at special discounted rates at www.awfsfair.org.
