Over the three days of the conference, there will be many opportunities to learn more about the industry here in British Columbia as well as the latest global trends in markets, policy, products, technology and project deployment.

Delegates will have two unique workshop opportunities on Wednesday before the main conference begins: the Wood Products Safety Summit and the Community Energy Workshop. Thursday, June 7 will begin with a keynote address by Anna Tenje, Mayor of Växjö, Sweden, named The Greenest City in Europe. Then we ll hear from a number of distinguished speakers on significant topics of the day, including Werner Kurz, Senior Research Scientist with Natural Resources Canada. Friday will kick off with keynote speaker, the Hon. George Heyman, British Columbia s Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy, followed by sessions examining shifting pellet markets, new woody biomass applications and local deployment in renewable communities. Some of you will wrap up the day with a tour of Pinnacle Renewable Energy s Meadowbank production facility. Of course we look forward to hosting you at a number of social and networking events on tap at this week s conference, including the Welcome Reception on Wednesday evening at Crossroads Brewing, and the Networking Reception at the Prince George Civic Centre on Thursday night.
