With a focus on interior and exterior window coverings, IWCE has again solidified its position as the premier destination for industry professionals looking to stay ahead of the latest trends and innovations.
As the only conference and expo of its kind, IWCE continues to set the bar high for showcasing cutting-edge products and providing unparalleled networking opportunities, including an impressive roster of seminars and workshops geared toward the design, fabrication, and successful operation of a window treatment business.
