One of the most influential events worldwide for coniferous wood.
Benvenuti
The Italian Association of the Wood Trader Industries (Fedecomlegno of FederlegnoArredo) together with the European Timber Trade Federation (ETTF) and the European Organisation of the Sawmill Industry (EOS), invite you into the Region of Sicily to the wonderful place of Taormina for the International Softwood Conference 2024 – one of the most awaited events of the year in the wood world.
The conference will be held only in presence.
In the evening of October 16th, you are invited to join us on the splendid panoramic terrace of the UNAHOTELS Capotaormina for a welcome reception where you can sip on cocktails made by special barmen together with a buffet including specialities and an interpretation of Sicily’s culinary heritage, following a genuine inspiration with appetising delicacies caught on the very same day.
On the 17 and 18th October, participants will attend the International Softwood Conference taking place in Congress Centre in Capotaormina UNAHOTELS. They will then spend the evening in a spectacular venue “in the green heart of the Mediterranean, an enchanted place where the gaze has no boundaries…”
This networking dinner will give you the opportunity to broaden your network and talk to main actors of the international softwood markets.
These two days conference will offer the opportunity to deeply scrutinize trends in the timber market focusing on facts and figures showing softwood production as well as consumption in the most relevant countries for the business worldwide – not just in Europe.
Speakers will give a perspective about the future that we – as sawmillers and timber traders – are facing in those moments of sudden changes due to the conflicts in different regions and which are deeply affecting the way we live. Simultaneously they will address important topics ranging from geopolitical situations, new requirements on timber trading – such as EUDR – and they will outline the future prospects of the timber market evaluating the economic impact on global markets for the coming years.
More information on the conference will follow in due course.
Stay tuned!
