Call for speakers: HarvestTECH & Wood Transport Logistics 2026

Friday 15 May 2026

 
Do you have a new technology, operational case study, or innovation that could help shape the future of harvesting and wood transport across Australasia?

Join industry leaders at HarvestTECH & Wood Transport Logistics 2026 and present to senior forestry, harvesting, logistics, and transport professionals. We’re now curating presentations across topics including fleet innovation, machine automation, safety, data analytics, logistics optimisation, and decarbonisation.

Scheduled for 10–11 November 2026 in Rotorua, New Zealand, this landmark event officially combines two of the region’s premier forestry technology series, HarvestTECH and Woodflow logistics. Present your ideas to senior decision-makers from across harvesting, log transport, mechanised forestry, fleet management, and wood supply logistics.

This combined event will provide a comprehensive look at the entire wood supply chain from stump to mill, port, or market.

A major focus for the 2026 programme will be navigating the accelerating transition toward low-carbon operations. Specifically, the event will highlight technologies, field trials, and infrastructure required for shifting the forest harvest and wood transport sectors to electric vehicles, localised charging grids, and heavy electric equipment.

We are interested in speakers covering the key themes:
  • Sector Electrification: Trials and integration of electric logging trucks, heavy electric harvesting equipment, off-grid charging infrastructure, and site power management.
  • Smart Forest Logistics & Woodflow: Advanced scheduling tools, cloud-based operations management, and AI-driven route planning.
  • Automated Data & Vision Systems: Innovations in volumetric log measurement, photo-optical log scaling, and wood tracking technologies.
  • Mechanised Harvesting & Safety: Automation, robotics, and teleoperation of equipment to improve both safety and steep-slope productivity.
