All Things Forest Products EXPO
Forest Products EXPO 2025 will be one of the best yet with:
- 210+ exhibitors from
- 34 states and 9 countries
- showcasing products from 168 different categories
- across nearly 60,000 square feet
We also have nearly 50 first-time EXPO exhibitors this year, so come out to meet some new faces and learn about their new offerings.
Final Call for Exhibit Space
We’ve already exceeded the number of exhibiting companies and exhibit space from 2023. The success of EXPO 2023, where exhibitors saw their sales soar, made them eager to return in 2025.
We’re down to just 14 open spots, so if you haven’t secured your booth, now is the time!
Housing Set to Open April 15
Our plan, which is subject to change, is to open housing to member exhibitors only beginning April 15 before we open housing and registration to all exhibitors and attendees in early May.
We will send an email the day before housing opens for member exhibitors only and another email the day the portal is open so you can secure your room blocks.
By booking within the SFPA housing block, you’re ensuring a seamless, cost-effective, and engaging experience at Forest Products EXPO 2025. More details, including hotel options and booking links, will be available soon.
Why Book in the SFPA Housing Block?
Booking within the official housing block secures your spot at a preferred hotel near the event and provides several key benefits:
- Best Rates and No Hidden Fees: SFPA negotiates the most competitive rates, ensuring you get the best deal with no unexpected charges.
- Convenience and Networking: Staying in an official hotel keeps you close to the action, making it easier to attend sessions, network, and maximize your time at EXPO.
- Exclusive Perks and Amenities: Attendees booking within the block may enjoy perks, such as free Wi-Fi, discounted parking, or other special incentives arranged through SFPA.
EXPO 2025 Hotel Notice
The official EXPO 2025 housing block is the only authorized hotel block for the event.
Beware of hotel scammers. Many EXPO 2025 exhibiting companies have reported receiving calls and emails from unauthorized housing groups attempting to sell hotel rooms for EXPO. These groups are not affiliated with SFPA or Forest Products EXPO.
SFPA does not condone or support these activities and never sells or shares exhibitor information. The only safe way to book your hotel is through SFPAEXPO.com — reservations made elsewhere are not guaranteed. Stay protected and book direct!
