Welcome to the latest edition of the Forest Business Network (FBN) Newsletter.
It is my absolute favorite time of the year, and it is my honor to make this announcement on behalf of the entire IMTC team: Registration is officially open for the 11th Annual 2027 International Mass Timber Conference & Expo!
Mass timber is no longer just a niche experiment—it is executing at scale. To meet the demands of our rapidly growing industry and help you capitalize on this momentum, we’ve completely upgraded the 2027 IMTC experience to deliver more value, education, and connection than ever before.
We have listened to the community, and here is how we are maximizing your time and ROI at this year’s event:
A Dedicated Tour Day (IMTC is Now a 4-Day Event): We’ve expanded the conference to four days so mass timber building tours have their own exclusive schedule.
Zero-Compromise Scheduling: We’ve significantly reduced the overlap between conference sessions and the expo hall. You no longer have to choose between attending essential technical workshops and meeting with top suppliers of CLT, glulam, and next-generation engineered products.
The Return of “The Boardroom”: Watch the industry move from vision to reality. Back for its highly anticipated 2nd edition, developers and investors will meet live on stage to discuss real funding for real mass timber projects.
Start Networking Next Month: Networking has always been the cornerstone of IMTC. In September, we are launching an exclusive mobile app for registered participants. Your ability to connect, collaborate, and book meetings starts the moment you register—months before you even arrive at the venue.
Essential Content Across the Value Chain
Whether you are a forest manager, an engineered wood manufacturer, or part of the architectural design community, this year’s programming is built for you.
Upcoming educational sessions will dive deep into critical topics like fire engineering, acoustics, and hybrid structural systems. Meanwhile, our soon-to-be-announced keynotes will feature the industry leaders currently advancing policy, financing, and design innovation.
Secure Your Spot
The buildings of tomorrow are being designed today. Early-bird registration is open now through November 13th.
Secure your place today, get immediate access to the IMTC community next month, and let’s continue building the future of our industry together.
