Greetings,
It is finally official! The AWFS®Fair scheduled for July 20-23 is going to happen. This is exciting news! After many months of uncertainty in our industry we are very pleased to officially proclaim that the show will be happening this year in Las Vegas. This will be the first major Woodworking show in the US since the last AWFS®Fair in 2019. It is unbelievable that our Industry has been that long without any in person woodworking show. I have participated in many virtual events over the past 24 months and they worked well but there is still nothing like being there in person. There are specific machines in our industry that have a very unique sound to them. When you are walking the show floor and you hear a machine running you know exactly what it is. This can only happen at a live event.
I know that the exhibitors in the show this year are excited to display all the new developments their companies have created. All early indicators are pointing to a great show with good attendance. The AWFS® staff has worked unbelievably hard to make sure that the 2021 AWFS®Fair is a success.
The show will be hosted by the Las Vegas Convention Center in their amazing, new exhibition (West?) Hall. The West Hall is the only one like it in the USA. You must see it in person to appreciate it. We look forward to seeing everyone in Vegas!
Dan Hershberger, President of AWFS®
