This year’s International Softwood Conference (ISC) will take place on October 22-24 in Oslo, Norway.
The popular event, which provides valuable information on international softwood markets, will be hosted by the Norwegian Wood Industry Federation (Treindustrien), in collaboration with the European Timber Trade Federation (ETTF) and the European Organisation of the Sawmill Industry (EOS).
The conference itself will be on October 23 at the Clarion Hotel Oslo, in the heart of the city centre.
The agenda covers various aspects related to the competitiveness of wood, the availability of raw materials, and market opportunities.
The conference provides an opportunity to thoroughly examine trends in the timber market, focusing on facts and figures for softwood production and consumption in the most relevant countries worldwide – not just in Europe.
Before the conference, on October 22, there will be five different study tours, including the production line at Bergene Holm Haslestad; a modern glulam production at Moelven Limtre; prefabricated element production at Ringsaker Vegg- og Takelementer (RVT); industrial-made wood building modules at Moelven Byggmodul; and the wood paint factory at G3 Gausdal Treindustrier.
A cocktail reception and a gala dinner will also feature during the event. The website for the conference will be announced shortly.
