Context and Goals<\/span><\/h2>\n

The International Woodworking Fair <\/a><\/strong>International Woodworking Fair (IWF) is a major biennial event for the appearance wood industry in North America. The next edition will take place from August 25 to 28, 2026<\/strong>, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta<\/strong>. With over 1,100 exhibitors<\/strong> and nearly 30,000 professional visitors<\/strong>, IWF is a hub of innovation in machinery, technology, materials, and solutions for the furniture, flooring, and architectural millwork sectors.<\/h4>\n

For BOCA, this mission is a unique opportunity to strengthen Quebec\u2019s expertise in the appearance wood products sector. IWF is not only a technological showcase but also a powerful catalyst for partnerships and business development.<\/h4>\n

Register now and position your organization at the forefront of North America’s woodworking industry.<\/strong><\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”25″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1752172867900{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

Target Audience<\/span><\/h2>\n

Manufacturing companies in the wood processing sector, particularly those specializing in appearance wood products.<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”25″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1752173002290{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

Results<\/span><\/h2>\n

At each edition, around twenty executives, production and operations managers, and R&D leaders take part in the mission organized by BOCA. The outcomes are tangible: several million dollars in equipment purchases that directly contribute to increased productivity for Quebec-based companies. But the benefits go beyond the material, strong connections are forged among participants, sometimes leading to long-lasting partnerships. These missions are undeniably powerful drivers of development and clear successes.<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”25″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1752173148156{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n
