ARLINGTON, TX -- The majority of presentations originally scheduled for the now-canceled June 10-12 Cabinets & Closets Conference & Expo and Wood Pro Expo Texas will be offered live online on May 19-20 in separate 4-hour sessions.  Wood Pro Expo Live will be held Tuesday, May 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Central.  Cabinets & Closets Live will be held the following day, Wednesday, May 20, also from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Central.  Registration for both online sessions is open to all and is complimentary.  More than 20 of the exhibitors slated to appear at the Texas event are sponsors of the event.

 

 

According to Tim Fixmer, president and CEO of CCI Media, the Woodworking Network team is working on a number of alternative online learning events to allow registered attendees, exhibitors, and the entire Woodworking Network audience to hear from presenters who were schedule to present at the event.  "We intend to bring crucial conference curriculum items to our loyal audience who were intent on attending this year’s conference," said Fixmer.  "Although there is no way to fully replace the face-to-face experience a trade show provides, we are taking steps to help CCCE/WPE Texas attendees and exhibitors connect so as to fully prepare for the reopening of the economy"
