We are pleased to announce the programmes for this year’s WoodTECH 2020. This FIEA technology series is running in Rotorua, New Zealand on 19-20 August 2020 and in Melbourne, Australia on 25-26 August 2020.
Two years ago, the WoodTECH technology series achieved a record turnout of local wood manufacturing companies. Over 350 delegates from all major wood manufacturing and dry-mill operations along with leading tech providers from across Australasia, North America and Europe converged on Melbourne, Australia and Rotorua, New Zealand.
This year, the WoodTECH series will be focusing on new technologies, new processing systems and case studies that will be showcasing “smart operating practices” that can make a significant difference in dry-mill and timber manufacturing operations.
Like previous events, short focussed presentations, quick-fire technology updates, longer workshop sessions and a large number of exhibitions will be used to provide a unique platform for local mills and manufacturers to learn and to network.
It’s comprehensive. For further programme information and a full list of companies exhibiting in August, check out the event website, https://woodtech.events/wt20.
Also can also view the print versions of the New Zealand and Australian programmes.
Registrations will be opening later this month.
