PLANS UNDERWAY FOR
EXPO RICHMOND 2012

The newest and most advanced machinery, equipment and technology in the forest products industry will be on display during the 33rd East Coast Sawmill and Logging Equipment Exposition, tentatively scheduled for Friday, May 18th and Saturday, May 19th 2012 at Richmond Raceway Complex in Richmond, Virginia.

EXPO RICHMOND 2012 will be the year's largest showcase of sawmill, portable sawmill, dry kiln, firewood processor, logging/harvesting, pallet manufacturing/recycling, trucks/trailers and related machinery and equipment, supplies, software and services in the Eastern United States. With over 12 acres of outdoor exhibit space and hundreds of indoor booths, The Richmond Show provides over one-half million square feet for active equipment demonstrations, exhibits and static displays. It will be the most comprehensive, all-encompassing forest products industry exposition of the year.

Attendees have the opportunity to compare their current equipment to the latest state-of-the-art, most technologically advanced equipment on the market. The extensive amount of equipment displayed, along with active product and machinery demonstrations both indoors and outdoors, provide the unique "hands-on" aspect of the Richmond show.

The exposition is co-sponsored by the Virginia Forest Products Association and the Cooperative Extension Service at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Attendee pre-registration forms will be available in late 2011/early 2012 in trade publications and direct-mail forms from the exposition office. On-line registration will also be available at that time. There will be no charge for any forest products industry member who pre-registers, and a small fee will be collected from on-site registrants.
