It was projects aplenty at the sixth Panel & Engineered Lumber International Conference & Expo (PELICE) held April 13-14 at the Omni Hotel at CNN Center in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
On-line registration for the sixth Panel & Engineered Lumber International Conference & Expo (PELICE) is open through Monday, ending at midnight. The event will be held April 13-14 at the Omni Hotel at CNN Center in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
While new mill projects and emerging technologies will as usual be a part of the discussion, a new wrinkle to the 2018 PELICE is entitled “Educational Pursuit,” featuring two noted university professors with close ties to the industry who will address emerging technologies that will attract college graduates to the industry.
Ninety-five exhibitors will be packed into the Grand Ballroom North of the Panel & Engineered Lumber International Conference & Expo (PELICE) to be held April 13-14 at the Omni Hotel at CNN Center in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
