Finance and forestry leaders meet in Australasia

Friday 16 Mar 2012

 
Over the last two weeks FIEA hosted over 230 delegates at the Future Forestry Finance 2012 Conference series in Auckland and Sydney. The response from delegates was overwhelmingly positive on the information gained and the networks they made and strengthened over each of the 2-day conferences.

With a strong turnout from senior executives from the forest products industries of both countries at the two events – there was plenty of questioning of speakers and constant conversations during the lunches, breaks and over dinner. Each conference had tailored content to the specific issues facing each sector on both sides of the Tasman.

With subject matter ranging from a full session on Maori trustees’ issues in New Zealand, understanding forest products international trade in more depth through to issues in Australia such as community support at a regional level and nationally rebuilding credibility with other sectors post-MIS there were a large number of presentations and discussions as part of the series.

Delegate feedback has confirmed the continued need for these conferences to be held on a two yearly basis. The ever widening spread of delegates from related sectors such as finance and communities dependent on forestry meant that people attending the conferences had plenty of chances to make new contacts and develop their own personal and business networks.

FIEA thanks the delegates and speakers who made the events a real success and we look forward to building on their feedback from this month’s events to design and deliver an even more appealing series for 2014.
