The International Mass Timber Conference is coming!
The event, a global reference in the technology that is revolutionizing the construction industry, will take place from March 25 to 27, 2025, in Portland (Oregon, USA).
In its 9th edition, the conference will bring together experts, researchers, industry professionals, and innovative companies who believe in the potential of engineered wood—or want to learn more about this sustainable, high-performance solution, which, according to Arnie Didier, CEO and Founder of Forest Business Network LLC, is not only experiencing continuous growth but is also expanding increasingly due to the new factories that continue to open.
WHAT MAKES THE MASS TIMBER CONFERENCE A MUST-ATTEND EVENT?
The conference provides a global overview of engineered wood, with impressive numbers:
✔ Over 60 specialized speakers in the sector;
✔ Over 190 exhibiting companies showcasing innovative solutions;
✔ Around 3,000 participants from nearly 30 countries;
✔ Five major thematic areas covering the entire production chain.
In addition, the event offers Building Tours, guided visits to iconic projects, including:
- 🏗️ PDX – The new Portland International Airport, a global reference in the use of engineered wood
- 🏢 Ascent – The tallest wooden building in the world
URBEM AT THE INTERNATIONAL MASS TIMBER CONFERENCE
Urbem believes that being present at this event is essential for staying up to date with market trends, strengthening strategic connections, and learning more about the future of sustainable construction with engineered wood.
This will be our 4th consecutive year at the conference, exploring new opportunities, sharing experiences, and reinforcing Brazil’s presence in the global engineered wood scene.
Since 2023, we’ve also participated in the Women in Timber Power Hour, a space dedicated to strengthening female representation in the sector, promoting connections between women, non-binary people, and female-identifying individuals. The event has already brought together over 500 participants in previous editions, highlighting the importance of diversity in sustainable construction.
