International Softwood Conference goes hybrid

The conference is being run by the European Timber Federation (ETTF) and the European Organisation of the Sawmill Industry (EOS), together with hosting association Sahateollisuus (Finnish Sawmills Association).

"The ongoing pandemic, the high level of uncertainty, but also the willingness to have the feel of a normal conference, pushed us to come up with this innovative format for the ISC 2021” said Kai Merivuori, managing director of Sahateollisuus, in agreement with EOS and ETTF.

While the co-organisers look forward to meeting in person many stakeholders, the hybrid format will allow people who cannot travel to attend the conference the ability to view in a digital format.

The hybrid ISC conference will be held on 14 October in one day and will be preceded by the traditional welcome cocktail on October 13. The gala dinner will take place on October 14.

The ISC 2021 will be moderated by long-serving moderator and timber market expert Keith Fryer.

Like every year, information about the registration for the hybrid conference 2021 will be available on the website of the conference. Registrations have already opened. For more information, visit:ISC
