FEA/Wood Markets 10th annual Global Softwood Log and Lumber conference—normally held in Vancouver, BC but transformed to a virtual event due to COVID-19—kicked off today with more than double the usual number of registrants (>600). A jam-packed in-person affair with dozens of world experts speaking on global log and lumber trends, the virtual conference version features pre-recored presentations (distributed to delegates today) followed by six live Q&A and discussion sessions over ZOOM on Thursday. Speakers will also cover the current impacts of COVID-19 on markets and trade around the world. Hosted by FEA-Canada Managing Director Russ Taylor and moderated by FEA’s Rocky Goodnow, all of the pre-recorded and live sessions are available post-event and registration is still available via FEA here.
