CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Are you in the process of launching a woodworking business?  Or, have you been in business for a while and just can't seem to stay on track? 

FDMC Editor-in-Chief and renowned speaker, Will Sampson, will address these subjects and much more March 8 at Wood Pro Expo Charlotte, where he will present the Closing Keynote Address, Path to Professionalism. The keynote is sponsored by Quis Machinery.

Speaking at 9:00 a.m. at the Charlotte Convention Center, Sampson will share what he has learned from visiting hundreds of shops across North America. He will help you get started on the right foot or get back on track.

Topics will include best business practices, efficient production, effective marketing, and secrets some shops don’t learn for decades.

Samspon's keynote presentation is open to all Wood Pro Expo attendees. Admission by badge is included with registration for the show floor; doors open for the final day at 10:00 a.m., immediately following Sampson's speech. 

"This presentation is targeted at woodworking businesses starting out and ones that still struggle from time to time," says Sampson. "We'll explore business fundamentals specifically for woodworking shops with an emphasis on custom work."
