WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Industry professionals are preparing to gather at Wood Pro Expo Florida and Closets Conference, a regional marketplace designed to bring together wood manufacturing leaders, innovators, and craftspeople. Taking place at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach, the event will start with all-day conferences on June 30 followed by the opening of the expo floor July 1–2.

The event invites attendees to explore emerging trends, evaluate new technologies, and strengthen business operations. From custom woodworkers to large-scale manufacturers, the show floor and conference programming are tailored to professionals working across cabinetry, furniture, millwork, fixtures, and other wood-based products.

The conference will kick off June 30 with a keynote from Dale Murphy, a two-time NL MVP and Atlanta Braves legend, who will present “Big League Leadership for Business Owners: Lessons from the Diamond to the Show Floor.” Educational sessions throughout the day will cover marketing strategies, design trends, technology integration, and business growth, alongside built-in networking opportunities including a luncheon, roundtable discussions, a virtual plant tour, and a welcome reception.

The expo portion of the show will bring added energy to the show floor with live machinery demonstrations, CEU-accredited sessions, and keynote presentations hosted directly on the Live Stage. Attendees can also expect extended networking opportunities, including a themed “Miami Nights” evening event designed to foster industry connections beyond the show floor.

Keynote speakers will also offer practical training in design, installation, fabrication, and operational strategy. A dedicated veneer grading seminar further expands the educational lineup, providing specialized insight for attendees looking to refine their material knowledge.
