TP&EE Announces 2026 Show Dates; Exhibitor Renewal Program
Organizers of the Timber Processing & Energy Expo (TP&EE) announced that the exhibitor renewal program begins this April for the biennial event, to be held September 23-25, 2026 at the Portland Exposition Center in Portland, Ore.
TP&EE 2024, held in September 2024, attracted 1,000 non-exhibitor personnel and nearly as many exhibitor personnel. About 80 wood producer companies sent personnel to comb the aisles of 180 exhibitor companies that were displaying technologies on 45,000 square feet of booth space in Hall E on the Portland Expo grounds.
In an exhibitors’ survey taken immediately after the 2024 show, 70% of exhibitors said they had confirmed an order or probably would related to discussions at the show.
TP&EE is produced by Hatton-Brown Expositions and hosted by Timber Processing, Panel World and Wood Bioenergy magazines.
The 2026 event will be the seventh conducted by Hatton-Brown, since assuming the long-running Portland show. “It’s a much more consolidated industry in the Northwest than it was, say in the 1980s,” comments Show Director Rich Donnell. “But it’s still highly relevant, and we feel an obligation to deliver the event to the Northwest wood products community, where some of the best operators are still going strong, and several new mills are coming up.”
Larger exhibitors in the 2024 event are e-mailed first with renewal options for the 2026 show, followed by smaller exhibitors a couple of months later. Sponsorship programs will also be announced soon.
