In fact, the majority (87%*) of B2B marketers say in-person events are a critical component to their company’s success. 

There are several ways to participate in an event but before you commit, consider the reasons why business people attend events:

WPE LancasterA regional marketplace for woodworking professionals 


Located in the iconic heart of woodworking country, Wood Pro Expo Lancaster is the only professional woodworking event to serve the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.

Surrounded by woodworking-rich states, with New Jersey and Delaware on the east, West Virginia and Virginia to the south/southwest, New York and Massachusetts to the north/northwest, and Ohio on the west, it’s an exceptional opportunity to cash in by meeting cabinet makers, custom woodworkers, and other wood product manufacturers from the region.
