About this Event
This one day marketing conference is to be held at the Guilford County Extension Center located on the east side of Greensboro, NC. The date of October 26, 2022 is at the end of the High Point Furniture Market in nearby High Point.
The conference encourages both foreign buyers and domestic sellers of hardwood lumber to attend and network. We have several breakout rooms where buyers and sellers can meet in private.
Discussions are to be led by industry professionals including Dan Meyer of Hardwood Review who will provide updates on export markets for hardwood lumber.
Michelle Wang of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture who manages the export activities for lumber and logs for the NCDA will discuss exports from North Carolina and other interesting statistics.
We are inviting other SE states to present their situation regarding hardwood lumber exports.
This is a free event with financial support by the North Carolina Forestry Association and the NCDA. Also assisting with this conference is the Appalachian Hardwood Manufacturers Association, Tom Inman who will also contribute to the knowledge base of hardwood lumber exports.
Hotels are to be found in the nearby cities of Greensboro and High Point but be aware the the Fall High Point Furniture Market is also a user of local hotels.
Harry W. Watt of North Carolina State University is the host of the conference and can be reached at harry_watt@ncsu.edu and cell phone at 704-880-3067.
