The International Convention is the premier event for professionals in the
forest products field. Convened annually by the Forest Products Society, the
International Convention brings together hundreds of scientists, design
professionals, managers, decision makers, and others from academia,
government, non-profit, and private industry sectors to discuss the state of
forest products research and learn about innovations in the field.
This year's Convention is shaping up to be an outstanding technical event,
with more than 170 formal presentations and 130 scientific posters. The
program includes a General Session in which industry, university, trade
association, and government leaders will discuss sustainable development and
role of the forest products industry. There are 29 Technical Sessions
spanning a range of topics including structural applications of wood
products, environmentally sensitive wood adhesives, woody biomass energy,
and innovation-based manufacturing. Check out the Convention program at
