The International Woodworking Fair raises the white flag and deletes the 2020 appointment, postponing the next IWF directly to 2022, between 23 and 26 August. A choice caused by the pandemic and stringent transport rules that would seriously question the success of the event.
“The decision to cancel North America’s oldest and largest woodworking event could not and did not come easily”, the organization said on their official web site. “The conditions and circumstances brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic—including accompanying travel restrictions and federal, state and local governmental regulations—have made it impossible to stage IWF 2020 without endangering the health and safety of all exhibitors, attendees and the Atlanta community at large”.
Too tight technical times (the event would have taken place between 24 and 28 August) and a situation that is still hanging in the United States led the organizers to make this decision: to definitively cancel IWF 2020.
