Forest Products EXPO 13 EXPO 2025 Exhibit Booths Remain We've already exceeded the number of exhibiting companies and exhibit space from 2023. The success of EXPO 2023, where exhibitors saw their sales soar, made them eager to return in 2025.
We’re close to a sellout on exhibit space, so if you haven’t secured your booth, now is the time! Prepare for Registration, Housing to Open We're finalizing plans for housing and registration, and can't wait to have you begin securing your rooms for Forest Products EXPO 2025.
Our plan, which is subject to change, is to open housing to member exhibitors beginning April 9 before we open to all exhibitors and attendees April 23.
Have You Secured Your Sponsorship? Many sponsorships have already sold out, so don't miss out on these new opportunities in 2025. Log into your Exhibitor Dashboard on Map Your Show to secure your sponsorship today. Need help? Email Christian Moises APR at cmoises@sfpa.org.
Many companies are presenting themselves as being an official part of the 2025 Forest Products Machinery & Equipment EXPO. They are not.
Anyone who calls you before April with EXPO 2025 hotels is not affiliated with Forest Products EXPO. Unfortunately, this year, they seem to be more aggressive in their tactics. |
