The Future of Timber Supply
Learn about the global trends reshaping our industry in our flagship market conference.
With demand looking challenging across most markets and increased pressure coming from rising input prices and tightening regulations, our keynote speaker Sampsa Auvinen, Chair of Fordaq – the leading online global marketplace for timber products – will present an overview of the state of the market currently and a look at the year ahead.
Our panel of leading timber importers, traders and merchants will give their views on how to maximise opportunity in an unstable market.
And Prof Noble Francis, Economics Director of the Construction Products Association will give his calculated view for the future of the housing market and what this will mean for growth in 2027.
Moreover, David Hopkins, CEO of TDUK will give an update on the association’s activity and future plans.
Additional speakers to be announced soon.
