Jan. 14, 2014 - More than 500 people are expected to attend the Montréal Wood Convention, the largest annual Canadian lumber industry event, to be held February 18-20, 2014, at The Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montréal, Canada.

This year, producers and buyers will have the opportunity to meet in a large trade show area during two half day sessions (afternoon's of the 19th and 20th).

High quality industry conferences are offered during two morning sessions. The multitude of activities also includes the luncheon with keynote speaker, Jacques Demers, Stanley Cup winning NHL coach and Canadian senator, contact sessions with overseas traders, company presentations and Cocktail Reception.
