FORST live Congress
2nd FORST live Congress | 23 April 2027
Following its successful debut: the FORST live Congress is back for its second edition
In 2027, the FORST live Congress will once again complement the extensive exhibition space and diverse supporting programme of FORST live. Under the motto ‘Science meets Practice’, the Congress on Friday 23 April 2027 will provide a platform for professional exchange on the industry’s current challenges and future issues.
The Congress is far more than a traditional specialist forum: It sees itself as a central platform for knowledge transfer, innovation and networking. Here, experts, decision-makers and innovators come together to jointly develop visions for the forest of tomorrow.
High-calibre keynote speeches, practical insights into current developments and future trends, as well as inspiring discussions, make the FORST live Congress an indispensable meeting place for everyone who wishes to play an active role in shaping the future of forestry and energy!
Key topics include, amongst others:
- Wood as a resource
- Soil science
- Forest policy
- Challenges of climate change
- Forestry 4.0
