Cairo WoodShow Conference 2026
A Conference for North Africa's Wood Industry
The Cairo WoodShow Conference brings the region's working conversations onto one stage. Across four days, sessions cover where demand is heading across Egypt and North Africa, what the technology now makes possible, and how regulation and sustainable practice are changing the way material moves.
It runs alongside the Cairo WoodShow exhibition, so the machinery and materials under discussion are on the floor outside, and the suppliers behind them are a short walk away.
The programme is built for the people making decisions: manufacturers and furniture factories choosing what to invest in, importers and distributors navigating export requirements, architects and interior designers specifying on live projects, and the contractors building them.
Sessions run alongside the exhibition floor.
