World timber engineering conference runs this month

The World Conference on Timber Engineering running on 15-19 July is the largest event in timber engineering with a worldwide reach. It started following the Pacific Timber Engineering Conferences that originated in New Zealand in the 1980’s. The NZ Timber Design Society has devoted considerable effort with the support of SESOC and FWPA (Australia) to get WCTE to the southern hemisphere for the first time.

The WCTE 2012 will provide a once in a career opportunity for local engineers, architects and industry to participate in a truly international conference right on our own doorstep in Auckland. The event provides an opportunity for New Zealanders and Australians to learn about the latest developments in the field, network with people at the leading edge of timber manufacture, architecture and research and promote the significance of NZ innovation.

Around 550 industry people, engineers, architects and researchers from 36 countries and will attend and there will be 240 high quality presentations in 6 parallel streams providing for range of technical interest. More >>. For further information on the programme, click here
