The International Wood Products Association (IWPA) has celebrated another successful World of Wood Convention, held last week of March at the JW Marriott in New Orleans, Louisiana. This year’s event saw representation from over 25 countries, as industry professionals gathered for three days of impactful programming, networking, and celebration.
“This year’s World of Wood Convention continued our tradition of bringing together leaders from across the global wood products sector for knowledge-sharing, outlooks on trade and tariffs, and business development,” said IWPA Executive Director Ashley Amidon. “From policy updates to personal connections, attendees walked away energized and informed.”
At the close of the event, the IWPA hosted a ceremonial passing of the gavel during a champagne toast. Bryan Courtney, Director of Industrial Products at Genesis Products, officially took over the IWPA presidency from the outgoing President Colin Miller, Vice President of Technology and Sustainability at Clarke Veneers and Plywood and Managing Director of 11Foundry.
