PARTICIPATE IN SHOW FEATURES

AWFS®Fair Visionary Awards

The AWFS®Fair Visionary New Product Awards are prestigious awards recognizing exhibitors for innovation and new-to-market products, which includes any product that has been introduced to the industry since the 2023 AWFS®Fair (July 2023). All companies whose entries are accepted will have their product featured in the Visionary New Product Showcase for the duration of the show. This showcase will be located in the main lobby in front of the West Hall and has proven to be one of the Fair’s most popular features. Products go head-to-head in the following categories: components; software; industry 4.0; raw materials; plastic machinery/supplies; tooling; machinery under 50K; machinery over 50K; power tools and hardware. Winners are selected by a panel of third-party judges.

Beware of Imposters and Unofficial Vendors

In the months leading up to the AWFS®Fair, sometimes exhibiting companies are contacted by individuals that claim to represent AWFS®Fair – often selling advertising in fake show directories or offering “attendee lists” for sale. Don’t be tricked! Here’s what you should look for:

  • Emails from AWFS®Fair will come from the domain “@awfs.org” – if someone contacts you from an unfamiliar domain, please check it against our list of approved service providers (when available – found in the exhibitor service kit) or forward the email to kim@awfs.org to verify the source.
  • There is only one official show daily for AWFS®Fair  and it will be distributed inside the convention center. Woodworking Journal is NOT affiliated with AWFS®Fair. Our contracted hotels will not be distributing the show directory and or any magazines or journals at there hotel.
  • AWFS®Fair does not share attendee contact information so our registration lists cannot be purchased. As such, beware of any company that promises to sell you an attendee list.

Our team is here to help you make the most of your time and investment at the AWFS®Fair. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please contact us at awfssales@awfs.org and we would be happy to assist you.

Cancellation Policy

As of today we are confident that AWFS®Fair 2023 will be a live in-person event in Las Vegas, NV.  As a show team we are confident that with the distribution of the vaccines and state governance indicating that they see the value in Trade Shows and the need to have them for local and state economies gives us confidence that in July 2023 things will continue to move-forward as they currently are.
