Wood Processing Summit programmes just releasedFriday 19 Apr 2013
As part of the three day event in each country, a one-day Wood Processing Summit is being run. They’ve been designed to encourage senior managers for one day to “think outside the square”. The programmes for the Wood Processing Summit have just been released – and have been added to the event website this week on www.woodexpo2013.com. Please find attached programmes for the Wood Processing for; Australia, Tuesday 3 September 2013, and New Zealand, Wednesday 11 September. What’s being covered? It’s no secret - the wood products industry is exposed to commodity products and pricing. One of the industry’s key challenges is to transform its value chains and improve its market position and returns through quality, diversification and the application of innovation. Clearly, we need to transform our current thinking. True innovation though is doing more than just R&D. It’s about exploring innovative approaches to new product development, to how technology is being commercialised and transferred to industry and how we’re producing and marketing our wood. The Wood Processing Summit's will be exploring strategies for future growth but will concentrate on global technologies that have the potential to provide a “step change” to our industry. Rather than small incremental steps in improving processing efficiencies, the Summit will explore what are the game-breakers on the horizon that could make a significant difference to what we’re producing and how we’re processing our wood resource. The Wood Processing Summit's will provide a special gathering for a very special three day event, WoodEXPO 2013. Registrations on-line will be on-line shortly and hard copies of the WoodEXPO 2013 programmes for the three full days sent out across the industry in the next few weeks. | ||
