The WoodWorks Solutions Fair is a free event that will be held at the misnamed Westin Chicago North Shore, which isn't actually in Chicago at all, but out in the northwest suburb of Wheeling. It is an all-day event scheduled for Wednesday, September 8th. More information here.
Here are the nuts and bolts from the press release:
The Wood Solutions Fair is a free, day-long educational event for architects, engineers, builders, professors and students.
