The event invites attendees to explore emerging trends, evaluate new technologies, and strengthen business operations. From custom woodworkers to large-scale manufacturers, the show floor and conference programming are tailored to professionals working across cabinetry, furniture, millwork, fixtures, and other wood-based products.
The conference will kick off June 30 with a keynote from Dale Murphy, a two-time NL MVP and Atlanta Braves legend, who will present “Big League Leadership for Business Owners: Lessons from the Diamond to the Show Floor.” Educational sessions throughout the day will cover marketing strategies, design trends, technology integration, and business growth, alongside built-in networking opportunities including a luncheon, roundtable discussions, a virtual plant tour, and a welcome reception.
The expo portion, running July 1–2, will bring added energy to the show floor with live machinery demonstrations, CEU-accredited sessions, and keynote presentations hosted directly on the Live Stage. Attendees can also expect extended networking opportunities, including a themed “Miami Nights” evening event designed to foster industry connections beyond the show floor.
