All rights reserved. Since its start in 1996, Traders Market has held a unique position among lumber and building material tradeshows as the only show that almost exclusively focuses on the lumber supply chain. And while Traders Market allows industry professionals to attend top-notch education sessions and the opportunity to conduct business in one place with manufacturers, it offers much more. Traders Market is a time for industry professionals to connect. Just like the forests that so many in our industry grow and nurture, Traders Market is the place to nurture your existing relationships and grow new ones. One of the best aspects of Traders Market is the eight hours of tradeshow floor time and three hours of dedicated networking time away from the show floor — time well spent meeting with NAWLA members and industry professionals to buy and sell products, catching up with friends and business partners, and meeting new people operating their business from all across North America. I encourage everyone attending to not only network and connect at the convention center but also take the conversations outside of the event space and out into our host city at the many local restaurants and bars that are just minutes away. While many of you will be having conversations specific to Traders Market, I suggest that you utilize the designated and non-designated networking time to really get to know more people and grow your network. Talk about recent professional and company wins, struggles your region many be experiencing and how to solve them, and industry changes and advancements. Now more than ever it is imperative that we share how the past year — and even past three years — has changed our industry and how we’re all navigating the constant state of change. NAWLA ’s goal is to serve as a uniting bond from one end of the supply chain to the other and help the industry grow by helping NAWLA members grow. Traders Market is a good time for NAWLA ; its executive board, volunteer leaders and staff are able to connect face to face and hear how our members are doing. So, come find us. Share your thoughts on Traders Market, the industry and more. Traders Market is for NAWLA members and we want to make sure that NAWLA is special for you not only during the event but all year long. I look forward to speaking with everyone throughout the event.
