2025 International Mass Timber Conference: Meet Our Diverse Steering Committee!
Dear Forest Business Network Newsletter Reader:
When it comes to building out the annual International Mass Timber Conference , one vital step we initiate the summer before is the assembly of our annual Steering Committee.
Our committee — hand-picked by our conference team — is a diverse group of mass timber professionals and stakeholders who help us build the best educational agenda for attendees that address the most important topics of the day.
We meet as a group once a month for five months, and even more often as smaller teams, to fine-tune 16 sessions with over 50 speakers. It's no small task to create an agenda this big and our committee deserves every accolade.
In addition to our capable full-time conference team, our 2025 Steering Committee is one of our largest yet and includes our most internationally-diverse team to date...
