February 2001 - Logging and Sawmilling Journal -

The newest products and technologies for the wood processing industry will be show-cased at Portland’s Wood Technology Clinic and Show in March.

The wood processing industry’s top manufacturers will offer their latest resources at Portland’s 29th annual Wood Technology Clinic and Show, to be held March 14 to 16, 2001. Occupying more than 110,000 square feet of the Oregon Convention Centre, the more than 500 exhibiting companies will feature state-of-the-art machinery, services and technologies for the wood processing industry.

In addition to the Show, the Clinic will feature a comprehensive line-up of educational seminars and workshops by the industry’s most respected experts. More than 30 conference sessions will cover advances in processing methods, global market trends, management strategies and more. The conference program is scheduled to allow for ample time on the exposition floor.

Known as one of the cornerstones of the wood processing industry, the show is produced by the Dallas-based VNU Expositions Building Group of Bill Communications, formerly Miller Freeman Inc. It offers wood professionals the most comprehensive venue for the industry and is unique in that it is dedicated exclusively to wood manufacturing and processing. Anticipated attendees will include lumber and wood products personnel, specialty wood products, plywood and other wood-based panel industries, wholesalers, distributors, importers and exporters of lumber, plywood and other wood products, as well as research organizations, laboratories and associations.

A general session with a keynote address is scheduled for 10 to 11:30 am on Wednesday, March 14. The keynote speaker information was unavailable at press time. The clinic sessions on Wednesday are from 8:30 to 9:45 am and from 2:30 to 3:45 pm. On Thursday, March 15, clinic sessions are scheduled to begin at 10 am, 2:15 pm and 4 pm. Friday’s sessions are from 10 to 11:15 am and from 1 to 2:15 pm. Show hours are daily from 8 am to 5 pm.

A tour of one of the industry’s state-of-the- art mills is available for attendees who come early to the Wood Technology Clinic and Show. On Tuesday, March 13, participants will gain historic perspectives and up-to- the-minute wood processing techniques on the day-long tour available by shuttle bus service. Cost of the tour is US $95.

Admission to the Wood Technology Clinic and Show is US $25 if tickets are purchased after February 1, 2001. For further information, call 1-800-789-2223 or
