Great Lakes Logging & Heavy Equipment Expo 2026

The organizer and venue anticipate over 5,000 attendees for the event, with more than 300 exhibitors participating. The show is open to the public and draws industry professionals—loggers, truckers, firewood processors, and construction and forestry equipment buyers—from Wisconsin, Michigan, and the broader Lake States region.

General admission is $20 per person, good for both days, and children under age 18 are free. To purchase advance tickets or request an exhibitor contract, contact GLTPA at 715-304-2871 (also listed as 715-304-2861) or email info@gltpa.org / laurie@gltpa.org. Exhibitors should request the exhibitor contract directly from GLTPA; a general attendee registration form and exhibitor information are also available through the GLTPA website.

The Expo is organized by the Great Lakes Timber Professionals Association (GLTPA), a non-profit that has provided leadership in the Lake States forest products industry for over 70 years and represents members in Michigan and Wisconsin. The event has a long history—earlier editions were associated with the industry's "Logging Congress" tradition. After a hiatus, GLTPA returned the show to the Green Bay area in 2022 for the first time since 2010, staging the 76th annual event at the Resch Complex. The 2026 edition marks the 80th Annual show and, for the first time, expands from a shorter format to two full days.
