The West Hall at the Convention Center is buzzing with excitement, filled with smiles, greetings, and countless innovations! With a dazzling array of woodworking company booths, AWFS is all set for five days of action from July 22 to 25 in Las Vegas.
The show will daily run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday. The AWFS Fair, which has as its subject “Thrive in 2025,” provides an up-close look at the newest hardware, supplies, technology, and services available on the market. Approximately 500 exhibitors are already geared up to showcase thousands of goods at the show, which is intended to assist manufacturers, fabricators, builders, installers, and designers in expanding their enterprises to new heights. In turn, the Association of Woodworking & Furnishings Suppliers (AWFS) owns the biennial show.
