The Annual Dinner on the evening of Day 1 will include the presentation of eight prestigious Science Awards that acknowledge the achievements of those who contribute to research and forestry science. Two new awards will be presented this year, which will recognise inspiring leadership in forestry science and the importance of research support. Day 1 – Tuesday 14 October Listen to presentations on topics such as the forces shaping the future of New Zealand forestry from industry, government, and market perspectives. There will be a particular focus on the future of radiata pine and the development of the next successful forestry species. Day 2 – Wednesday 15 October Start the day by celebrating diversity in forestry at the Wahine in Forestry breakfast then focus on the interactions between trees and their ecosystems at the first presentation session. Key advances in digital technology will be the focus of the next two sessions. The fourth session asks the question: “What’s next?”, and explores topics such as species diversification, sector innovation, and measurement of research effectiveness. The day concludes with a special networking session featuring posters and technical displays. Day 3 – Thursday 16 October Enjoy a full-day field trip of Auckland forests.
