It’s a mad dash to sign up for the 2012 Panel & Engineered Lumber International Conference & Expo (PELICE), to be held March 1-2, 2012 at the Omni Hotel at CNN Center in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, USA. PELICE is hosted by Panel World magazine and Georgia Research Institute. The previous two events, held in 2008 and 2010, each drew approximately 500 participants, 60 exhibitors and 65 speakers and moderators who addressed a range of topics in the structural and non-structural wood products industries.
New Silver sponsors include Daqota Systems, Georgia-Pacific Chemicals, Hoover Treated Wood Products, Sandvik and Sweed Machinery.
New Bronze sponsors include Cogent Industrial Technologies, MEGTEC Systems and Tri-Mer Corporation.
Cogent, MEGTEC and Tri-Mer will also participate in the Bioenergy Fuels & Products Conference & Expo, which will be held immediately preceding PELICE on February 28-29, 2012, meaning those companies will maintain the same booth locations for both events in the Grand Ballroom North of the Omni Hotel. The Bioenergy Conference is hosted by Wood Bioenergy and Panel World magazines and Georgia Research Institute.
