PELICE On The Horizon
Article by Rich Donnell, Editor-In-Chief, Panel World
It’s beginning to come into focus—the next Panel & Engineered Lumber International Conference & Expo that is. Better known as PELICE, the event, which caters to both the structural and non-structural wood products industries, will be held April 16-17, 2026 at the Omni Atlanta Hotel at Centennial Park, adjacent Olympic Park, the College Football Hall of Fame, Georgia World Congress Center, State Farm Arena, Mercedes Benz Stadium, and across from the ongoing redevelopment of the old CNN Center into “The Center,” a vibrant mixed-use hub for dining, shopping and entertainment.
Especially exciting is that this will be the Tenth PELICE as hosted by Panel World magazine, the first one having been held in 2008 and every other year since. Several activities during PELICE next spring will mark this accomplishment, including a special recognition of companies that have exhibited in all 10. Do you know who you are?
Once again PELICE is expected to feature 100 equipment and technology exhibitors and 50 speakers, who will address mill projects, markets, wood product development, new technologies and a range of other subjects.
We’re now piecing together the PELICE agenda, and can happily announce the first round of keynote speakers, including:
David Neal, executive vice president, Georgia-Pacific Building Products
Rob Johnson, senior vice president of manufacturing operations, Boise Cascade Wood Products
Jay Galloway, president, Hood Industries
Chris Beard, vice president, building products research, John Burns Research and Consulting
An interesting note about GP’s Neal is that he is very active in the Atlanta community and is a member of Leadership Atlanta.
If the remainder of the speakers lineup measures up to these four, PELICE will be doing just fine.
Meanwhile, exhibitors have been signing up with their Gold, Silver or Bronze packages. Attendee registration opens next January 2026.
In the months ahead look for more PELICE announcements in Panel World and on various social media outlets. The tenth one is already shaping up to be the best one.
