Timber Processing & Energy Expo (TP&EE) will officially present the Timber Processing 2024 Person of the Year Award to Andy Pollard of Pollard Lumber on Wednesday afternoon, September 25, which is the first day of the event to be held at the Portland Exposition Center in Portland, Ore.

The January issue of Timber Processing published an article on Pollard as the recipient of the award, noting his numerous innovations and patents in sawmilling technology, including the curve-sawing gang and continuous dry kiln.

Everyone is invited to the presentation ceremony on the show floor.

One-hundred-seventy exhibitors have signed up for the event to be held September 25-27. They’ll showcase their technologies and supplies to lumbermen on 45,000 square feet of booth space.

Attendee registration opens July 15. Admission is free to anybody who registers prior to the beginning of the show.

In addition to the Person of the Year presentation, TP&EE will once again feature its massive Beer Garden, and the Sawmill Productivity & Efficiency Conference, details of which will be released in June.

TP&EE continues it Preferred Partners program, which is an alliance with several industry groups to support promotions and attendance.

The event is produced by Hatton-Brown Expositions and hosted by Timber Processing magazine.
