Off Topic - USA Wood Shows

[Aussie]

I am planning to visit a trade show in the USA this year and seek the advice of previous attendees.

Do I attend AWF in Las Vegas or IWF in Atlanta ?
I would like to attend some training for CNC, Corel Draw, Lasers etc, as I am just a home hobbist I am not looking for large production equipment etc, more interested in the small booths that have new and exciting widgets.
Thank you for your time.

They have the IWF show, one year in Vegas and the next year, in Atlanta.
Both shows, are geared toward industrial grade equipment and Industrial grade software

The IWF was in Atlanta last year so will be in Las Vegas this year. I understand the Atlanta show is generally bigger with more vendors, but either is worth a visit. I'm not sure they are geared towards training, though. I think it's mostly a trade show. There are usually smaller vendors along with larger ones, but the smaller ones won't be on the main floor.
