Industry Ready to Reunite in Las Vegas

Exhibit sales for the AWFS®Fair have picked up strongly. A large number of exhibitors are returning from 2009, including SCM Group North America, Thermwood, Stiles Machinery, Biesse America, C.R. Onsrud and Weinig, which recently aligned with Holz-Her U.S. and many others.

“The fact that many exhibitors have decided to return, including several that have sat out an entire show cycle, is an extremely encouraging sign for the industry,” Joan Kemp, President of AWFS® Board of Directors, said. “Ultimately, those that will benefit the most will be our attendees. In the end, that’s what truly matters and we couldn’t be happier.”

“We are encouraged by what we have seen over the past several months,” John Gangone, President of SCM Group North America, said. “Business has steadily gotten better and shops are definitely getting busier. We are looking forward to the AWFS®Fair this summer, where we have historically met highly qualified attendees.”

AWFS® Fair Educational Program will showcase more than 50 industry professionals who have been lined up to deliver 46 high quality educational presentations during the four days of the AWFS® Fair, July 20-23, 2011 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
