ATLANTA - Advanced attendee registration and exhibit sales continue to grow for the International Woodworking Fair. According to IWF officials, advance registration for this year's show was running 40% ahead of IWF 2010 at the start of July.

IWF is scheduled to take place Aug. 22-25 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.

IWF organizers said the resurgence is propelled by strong exhibitor participation from the leading suppliers of machinery, supplies, services and an industry looking to seize the opportunity for business success.

“We are experiencing growth in all demographic regions,” says Michael Burdis, IWF 2012 chairman and president of James L. Taylor Manufacturing Company, “The increase in registrations, exhibits as well as new products sets the stage for an exciting event.”
