ForestWood 2014 - Green Green Growth of Home When: Wednesday 19 March 2014 Where: Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington The combined forestry and wood products industry is coming together in March with ForestWood 2014, "Green Green Growth of Home". 2014 is election year. ForestWood 2014 will present a unique opportunity to hear the views of the main political parties on how they expect to influence New Zealand's forest growing and wood processing/manufacturing business in pursuit of increased economic growth. Politicians, industry leaders and political analysts will elaborate on what they plan to do to make the New Zealand forest and wood industry more successful in a highly competitive international marketplace. World demand for wood fibre is expanding. How the sector responds to this demand will be shaped to a large extent by government policies. Let's find out if the future government has the right agenda when it comes to forest and wood industry growth. At the final session of ForestWood leading industry thinkers will present their views on international and domestic market opportunities. The conference programme will be announced mid October 2013 in conjunction with registration opening. This is the third time that the 4 organisations (Forest Owners Association (FOA), Wood Processors Association (WPA), Pine Manufacturers Association (PMA), and the Forest Industry Contractors Association (FICA)) have held a joint conference which builds on the successes of previous individual and combined industry events/conferences which have attracted world class speakers and presenters. ForestWood 2014 is a fantastic opportunity for organisations and individuals, with a keen interest in forestry, to engage with decision-makers and professional specialists from the forestry industry. Sponsorship Sponsorship for the conference is still available.
