The Cabinet Makers Association has been hosting high-value events since 1998 as a means of connecting similar-sized shops around North America with the purpose of sharing best practices and business acumen, while learning how other businesses do what they do.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The Cabinet Makers Association (CMA) has announced its Greater Philadelphia Area Regional Event, taking place April 27–29, 2026, bringing together custom cabinetmakers, millworkers, and woodworking professionals for an immersive, hands-on regional experience.
CMA regional events are designed to foster meaningful peer connection through small-group engagement, behind-the-scenes shop tours, and open discussion around real-world business and production challenges. The Greater Philadelphia event will highlight the area’s strong woodworking heritage while providing attendees with practical insights they can bring back to their own shops.
Importantly, attendees do not need to be CMA members to participate. This regional event is an excellent opportunity for non-members to experience firsthand what the organization is about, connect with the CMA community, and explore the value of membership in an informal, welcoming setting.
Event highlights include:
• Guided shop tours of respected local woodworking and cabinetry businesses.
• Peer-to-peer networking with fellow CMA members and industry leaders.
• In-depth conversations focused on operations, workforce, craftsmanship, and business best practices.
• Optional group activity offering additional design and craft inspiration.
“Regional events are one of the most valuable ways our members learn from one another,” said Amanda Conger, Executive Director of CMA. “They create space for honest conversations, idea-sharing, and relationship-building that simply can’t happen in any other setting.”
Attendance is intentionally limited to maintain an interactive, high-quality experience. Early registration is encouraged.
