The Canadian Woodworking Machinery Distributors Association (CWMDA) - which sponsors the Woodworking Technology Days (WTD) event – and the Woodworking Machinery & Supply Conference and Expo (WMS), have decided to join forces to offer the Canadian industry an enhanced presentation of industrial machinery.
With respect to WMS, which presents a wider variety of machinery, supplies, tooling and software, the WTD event was created last year by CWMDA and its members who saw the need to focus on specialized production equipment and offer a larger number of demos, which do require extensive space and set-up facilities.
As it takes place in the members showrooms, most of which are located within 20 minutes of the International Center, both organizations recognized the complementarity of the two events and the opportunity to better serve the woodworking industry with a national event that will be at the level of other international shows, making it worthwhile for visitors from across Canada to attend.
Therefore, both organizations have agreed to mutually promote the two events and make it easy for visitors.
With that in mind and in order to allow more time for visitors to enjoy both events, the WTD event will operate from Monday to Saturday Nov. 1 – 6, while WMS starts on the Thursday and runs until Saturday as usual. With some major international shows cancelled in the recent year, a high turnover is expected, as this is a great opportunity for woodworkers to travel in Canada and see more machinery than ever.
