Reinventing Wood is theme for joint conference

THE New Zealand Pine Manufacturers Association and Wood Processors Association joint annual Conference will be held 21-22 July at the Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology (NMIT) in Nelson.
The conference theme “Reinventing Wood” is an apt title for a conference that is attempting to lift the focus of participants from commodity production to high valued manufactured and branded timber solutions (in domestic and export markets). There is to be a strong emphasis on the potential for re-creating Christchurch with innovative wooden buildings of the style just constructed at NMIT – we see Christchurch as a trigger point for the industry to significantly lift its game.
