World Millwork Alliance select convention locations

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. — The World Millwork Alliance (WMA) announced the dates and locations for its next two Annual Conventions & Trade Shows, solidifying a two-year partnership with Loews Hotels.

The 2026 WMA Annual Convention & Trade Show will take place September 14–16, 2026, at the spectacular Loews Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Orlando, a luxury resort offering direct access to Universal Studios Florida and CityWalk. This vibrant venue combines entertainment and convenience in a walkable, resort-style setting—delivering the ideal backdrop for learning, networking, and celebrating the millwork industry.

In 2027, WMA will bring the convention experience deep into the heart of Texas. The Loews Arlington Hotel & Convention Center will host the event October 18–20, 2027. Situated in the Arlington Entertainment District, this premier destination is just steps away from AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, the lively Texas Live! development, and the newly opened National Medal of Honor Museum—a powerful tribute to courage and American values. This setting promises a unique blend of business and inspiration for attendees.

“We couldn’t be more excited about the next two years,” said Renee Hornsby, President & CEO of WMA. “Both Loews properties offer our attendees a seamless, one-roof experience. From world-class convention spaces to incredible attractions right outside your door, these locations deliver everything we need to elevate our annual gathering and provide lasting value for our members.”
