HMA’s 2026 National Conference and Expo is scheduled for Wednesday–Friday, March 25–27, at Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront in Jacksonville, Florida. And our signature event is open to all hardwood lumber producers, processors, and suppliers—members, non-members, and all industry stakeholders.

Over the past several years, we’ve convened at NatCon to discuss Investing in the Future, becoming Agents of Change, outlining Pathways to Success, and planning for our industry’s Evolution. This coming March, we’ll gather together to prepare and equip you and your business for our industry’s Resurgence.

Our learning sessions and conversations will aim to address economic markets, workforce shortages, developing technology, among many others, giving you a wealth of knowledge to take home with you to implement into your business.

And you won’t want to miss our industry’s premier, peer-to-peer networking opportunity. Mix and mingle with industry veterans and the next generation of leaders, share wisdom and ask questions, visit with equipment manufacturers and industry suppliers, and enjoy all that Jacksonville has to offer.
