Dear Colleagues of IUFRO Division 2,

I hope this message finds you well.

On behalf of the organizing committee, I am pleased to announce the upcoming international conference entitled “Sustaining Acacia Plantations in a Dynamic Changing World”.

The conference will be held from 5–8 October 2026 in Hanoi, Vietnam.

This event aims to provide an international platform for researchers, practitioners, and industry stakeholders to exchange knowledge and experiences on acacia genetics, breeding, silviculture, forest health, wood products, and market development, particularly in the context of climate change and evolving global demands.

Please find attached the conference brochure, which includes detailed information on the themes, program structure, important dates, and registration procedures.

We warmly invite you to:

• Register for the conference via conference website https://iufroacacia2026.com and actively participate in the discussions;
• Submit abstracts and contribute oral or poster presentations;
• Share this announcement with your colleagues, partners, and relevant networks who may be interested in attending and presenting at the conference.

Your participation and support would greatly contribute to the success of this event and strengthen collaboration within the IUFRO community.

We very much look forward to welcoming you to Hanoi in October 2026.

With kind regards,
Dr. Nguyen Duc Kien
Co-ordinator of IUFRO Working Party 2.08.07 "Genetics and Silviculture of Acacias"
