ForestTECH 2024 – International technologies for local foresters & early-bird discounts ending

Discounted early-bird registrations to this year’s eagerly awaited annual ForestTECH 2024 series finish in one week, on Friday 18 October. Registrations to this year’s event can be made here. On-site and virtual registrations to this year’s annual ForestTECH 2024 event continue to flow in.

For local forest resource and tree crop managers, ForestTECH 2024 will be running on 20-21 November in Rotorua, New Zealand and on 26-27 November 2024 in Melbourne, Australia the week after.

Some truly innovative approaches that have been or are being developed from technology providers and end users from across New Zealand and Australia, both in data capture and in tree crop management will be profiled this year.

Because of this well-earned reputation, a raft of international technology developers and forest companies from outside Australasia this year for the first time will be outlining innovative new equipment, technologies and operating practices to local foresters at ForestTECH 2024.
