IWF only comes around every two years, and when it does, the whole industry shows up in one building. This August, North America’s largest woodworking show returns to the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, running August 25 to 28. If you’re making the trip, here’s where to find us and what’s worth your time.

 

Two booths this year

 

We have two spots this year: Booth BC807 and Booth B4235. Look for the orange. You’ll find people from both the INNERGY and Microvellum teams ready to talk shop and show you what we’ve been building. If you just want to talk about how other shops are handling estimating, scheduling, or engineering, that’s a conversation we’re happy to have.

 

See a live demo, built around your shop

 

Screenshots and sizzle reels don’t tell you much. A live demo does, especially when it runs on your problems instead of ours.

 

Book a demo slot and bring the part of your operation that keeps you up at night. Maybe it’s jobs that finish over budget and nobody can say why. Maybe it’s the gap between what engineering releases and what the shop floor actually cuts. On the INNERGY ERP side, we’ll walk through estimating, job costing, and scheduling live on the floor. On the Microvellum side, we’ll show how parametric product logic drives shop drawings, cut lists, and CNC output from a single model, so a change made once updates everything downstream.

 

Demo slots fill up fast at IWF, so book yours ahead of the show.

 

Catch our education sessions

 

Education is why IWF is worth four days away from your shop, and it’s the part of the show we care about most. Our team is teaching six sessions this year as part of the IWF Education Conference, covering data, AI, industry benchmarks, and lean operations. None of them require you to be an INNERGY customer to get something out of them. That’s the point.

 

Wednesday, August 26

 

 

Thursday, August 27

 

 

Seats go quickly for the popular sessions, so build these into your show schedule early.

 

Join us for an INNERGY happy hour

 

Put your feet up after a long day on the floor. Join us Wednesday, August 26 from 5:30 to 7:00 PM at the Omni Hotel Lobby Bar, just steps from the show floor. Drinks are on us. Come hang out and talk shop, no pitch required. RSVP on our IWF page so we know to expect you.

 

Plan your visit

 

IWF 2026 runs August 25 to 28 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. Find us at booths BC807 and B4235, catch a session or two, and use the IWF landing page to book a demo and RSVP for happy hour before the show.

 

See you in Atlanta.

If you run a millwork shop in Canada, AWMAC is probably already on your radar. This year’s National Convention — June 11–13 in Québec City — brings together manufacturers, suppliers, and partners from across the country under one theme: Built to Lead: Shaping the Future of Architectural Woodwork. INNERGY is the presenting sponsor.

 

Marc Sanderson, INNERGY’s CEO, will be on the keynote stage, with two additional speaking sessions throughout the conference. Three opportunities to dig into the real business challenges millwork shops are facing: estimating that bleeds margin, production schedules that fall apart when things get busy, and the disconnect between the office and the shop floor that quietly costs shops more than they realize.

 

The industry is the point

 

There’s a shop tour built into the agenda, and it’s worth noting that the shop being toured runs Microvellum, INNERGY’s sister CAD/CAM product. You’ll get to see what modern millwork production actually looks like when the software is built for the work.

 

AWMAC draws Canadian millwork owners and operations leaders who are serious about running tighter, more profitable businesses. Keynotes, practical learning sessions, and intentional networking — the program is designed to give you something you can actually use when you get back to the shop.

 

That’s exactly who we built INNERGY for.

 

Come find us

 

If you’re attending AWMAC this year, we’d love to connect. Catch one of Marc Sanderson’s sessions, find us at the sponsor table, or reach out before the event to set up time to talk.

 

This is what we show up for.

INNERGY is proud to be a sponsor of the CMA Greater Philadelphia Area Regional Event, taking place April 27–29, 2026. Hosted by the Cabinet Makers Association, this regional gathering brings together cabinetmakers and industry partners for facility tours, peer conversations, and hands-on learning. We’re excited to be part of it!

 

What to Expect

 

The CMA regional format keeps things intentional and small (attendance is limited), which means real conversations and genuine connections. Over three days, attendees will tour five working cabinet shops across the Greater Philadelphia area:

 

April 27: Village Handcrafted Cabinetry (Lansdale, PA) and Paul Downs Cabinetmakers (Bridgeport, PA)

 

April 28: Seven Trees Woodworking (New Holland, PA), Keystone Wood Specialties (Lancaster, PA), and Fox Woodworking (Phoenixville, PA)

 

April 29: Optional visit to the Wharton Esherick Museum (Malvern, PA)

 

Every stop on the tour is a chance to see how other shops operate.

 

Who’s Attending from INNERGY

 

We’re not just sponsoring this one, our team will be there. Account Executives Mickey Manser and Garin Trimble will be on the ground, if you’re attending, make a point to find them. They know the woodworking industry, and they’d genuinely love to meet you.

 

See You in Philadelphia

 

If you’re heading to the CMA regional event, come find Mickey and Garin. We’d love to connect, and show you what INNERGY can do for your business.

INNERGY is heading to the SMA 2026 Annual Conference, taking place April 30 – May 2 in Kansas City, Missouri. Hosted by the Stairbuilders and Manufacturers Association, this is the premier gathering for stair industry professional, and we’re excited to be joining!

 

Finding Our Groove

 

This year’s theme, “Finding Our Groove: Elevating Stairbuilding,” is a perfect fit for what INNERGY is all about. The conference brings together stair manufacturers, builders, and suppliers for keynotes, hands-on workshops, and real conversations about what it takes to run and grow a stairbuilding business. We’re looking forward to being in the room for all of it.

 

Who’s Attending from INNERGY

 

Come meet our INNERGY staff! Jillian Klinar and James Stanley will be representing, come say hello.

 

What INNERGY Does for Stair Manufacturers

 

Stair manufacturing is a complex business. Every project is custom, every job has its own variables, and as you grow, spreadsheets and manual tracking start to break down fast.

 

 

INNERGY is ERP software built specifically for the woodworking industry — and stair manufacturers are a core part of who we serve. From real-time job costing and inventory tracking to centralized data and remote accessibility, INNERGY gives stair builders visibility into every part of their operation so nothing falls through the cracks.

 

 

If stair manufacturing is your business, visit our stair manufacturers page to learn more about how INNERGY is built for the way you work.

 

See You in Kansas City

 

If you’re heading to SMA 2026, come find us. We’d love to connect and show you what INNERGY can do for your stairbuilding business.
