The
International Wood Products Association (IWPA) is
pleased to announce the group’s 47th Annual Convention,
World of Wood 2003, will take place March 26-28,
2003 at the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel in New Orleans,
Louisiana.
For the last 46 years, IWPA’s Annual Conventions have
been an indispensable, cost-effective meeting point for
companies involved in international trade of wood products
to the North American marketplace. World of Wood has
consistently proven to be a successful tool for companies
aiming to present their products in the North American marketplace.
“This year is no exception,” stated Wendy Baer,
Executive Vice President of IWPA. “The opportunities
are there for companies that want to expand their marketplace
for wood products, and to meet with new and existing customers.”

As
in previous years, the Convention program will feature presentations
by industry experts on developments and markets in the imported
wood products industry. Emphasis is also placed on networking
and making industry connections. To enhance the networking
opportunities, there is scheduled time for companies to
display their products before all attendees. More than 250
delegates from nearly twenty countries participated in World
of Wood 2002. “We fully expect to meet and even exceed
that number in 2003,” added Baer.
World of Wood is organized by the International Wood Products
Association, and brings together importers, producers, wholesalers
and service providers, among others, to conduct business
and to discuss the latest issues concerning trade in imported
wood products.
