More than 150 exhibitors from around the globe, representing about 40 countries, will take part in the biggest ‘Dubai WoodShow 2010’ set to open on Tuesday (April 13).

The wood-focused exhibition, to be held at the Dubai Airport Expo, will have the highest international exhibitor count in its five-year history.

The show will feature the first annual ‘Dubai WoodShow Forum’, the event’s first conference offering a series of exclusive keynote sessions and case studies delivered by high-profile experts, academics and top executives from the entire wood industry spectrum, said Strategic Marketing & Exhibitions, the event’s organiser.

“Given the impressive numbers of committed exhibitors and visitors at this year’s show, we will be expecting a sizeable value of closed deals on the spot, which will make a significant impact on the growth of the regional and global wood sector,” said Dawood Al Shezawi, managing director, Strategic Marketing & Exhibitions. “

The show will also feature a dedicated platform for exclusive one-on-one business meetings among exhibitors, potential clients and future partners. The event will also introduce the ‘Dubai WoodShow Workshops’, daily two-hour interactive presentations designed to provide attendees (small groups of 20-30 registered delegates) with a practical learning experience on American timber grading, sustainability and certification for the timber Industry and sanding and finishing technologies. – TradeArabia News Service
