EXPO 2025: Fine Tune Your Strategy. That was the agenda for the 38th Forest Products Machinery & Equipment EXPO from August 6-8, 2025, at the Music City Center in Nashville, and early feedback shows exhibitors and attendees alike were able to successfully collaborate to drive their operations forward. “The Southern Forest Products Association (SFPA) hosting the Forest Products EXPO in Nashville for a second time continued to far surpass our expectations,” said Eric Gee, SFPA’s executive director. “I’m beyond proud of our exhibiting companies, whose creativity and hard work transformed the exhibit hall into an outstanding hub of innovation, connection, and opportunity.” The event boasted 243 exhibiting companies and a record number of exhibitors since 2000, representing 185 product categories, and nearly 1,000 attendees, including 60 first-time exhibitors. Early survey responses from attendees were positive, with many lauding the location and Music City Center, the opportunities for networking with industry colleagues and meeting new vendors, and the variety of exhibits.
