QUICK CUTS
Mark your calendar for two CabinetMakerFDM
Woodworking E-vents in 2011
Following in the success of the first
virtual trade show for the woodworking industry, two new
CabinetMakerFDM Woodworking E-vents are
scheduled for 2011.
The first E-vent held in November --
a combination of online seminars and
a virtual trade show – attracted more
than 1,200 registrants and earned
enthusiastic reviews from attendees
and exhibitors.
“Reaction to the first E-vent was
overwhelmingly positive from both the
attendees and suppliers,” said Bruce
Plantz, publisher of CabinetMakerFDM.
“For the first event of this type in the
industry, it was a big success.”
The new 2011 E-vents will be held
May 19 and November 17. Each of the
E-vents will follow a similar format,
including a series of webinars, town hall
meetings by associations and a chance
to visit with a large number of suppliers.
Although the final schedule of topics
has yet to be confirmed, tentative semi-
nars on tap will include discussions of
automation, lean manufacturing, material
handling and more. Each of the webinars
allows for interactive involvement with
live questions and answers.
