Welcome to Prowood®

What your fellow exhibitors said The pre-eminent platform where in just a short time, you can meet a large number of professionals in order to present innovations to them. An expected stroke of good fortune. An excellent place to meet our clients and prospective clients. Prowood® makes your business’s future tangible. Potential clients are present, so you do not have to go out and find them. My new product has been launched. No need to “knock on wood” to find the right customers. Thanks to Prowood®, we once again considerably expanded our client base. PROWOOD® = a high-quality trade fair for professionals in the woodworking industry. Pretty close to perfect. The trade fair from A to Z for wood. Motivated and positive exhibitors meet motivated and positive visitors. A labour-intensive proposition, but in hindsight well worth the effort. A three-yearly “get-together” full of new impulses.

Prowood® lives up to its promises

The success of the second edition has definitively confirmed Prowood® as the number one meeting place for the woodworking industry in Belgium. A few figures on this edition, which was held in November 2006 at Flanders Expo:

• more participants (increase to 175 exhibitors)
• more stand area (+ 884 m2)
• more visitors from the profession (2,016 compared with 11,758 in 2003)

A strict selection in schools ensured that only motivated pupils found their way to the trade fair, and this on a day agreed in advance. Exhibitors greatly valued this.

Why Prowood® was better in 2006

• Extra options on the website.
• Handy, pocket-sized fair catalogue.
• Brochure containing floor plan available at the entrance.
• Better construction and dismantling rules.
• Closing after official closing time (unlike other fairs, visitors are not chased away from Prowood at closing time).
• Pre-selection of the Golden Plane competition for the best young carpenter. The winner was invited to Japan in 2007 to take part in the World Skills competition.
• Reception, with delegates from the regional and federal governments.

Why Prowood® will be even better in 2009

• Better opening hours on weekdays: from 12 noon to 8 pm.
  Exhibitors can visit their offices in the morning and visitors can come to the trade fair after work
  (as before, the fair will be open from 10 am to 6 pm on Wednesday 11 November, a public holiday, and on the closing Saturday).
• Another two high days during the fair (as in 2003).
• Organisers Claever Associates will provide a marketing seminar for the exhibitors, as an extra service provision. This is a whole course to help you get the absolute most from your participation.
• Further sectoral classification per group of exhibitors.
