What is ForestTECH 2008?


ForestTECH 2008is the first forestry technology showcase of its type run in Australia. The first programme in the series, ForestTech 2007 ran in New Zealand in March 2007. The response to this event was overwhelming. Over 150 technical staff attended, of which, a large number of delegates were from Australia. The message from Australian forestry companies since March 2007 has been very clear. There is an urgent need for an independent overview of new tools and technologies that will assist forest managers to make key operational, planning and strategic decisions.

What will the programme cover?
ForestTECH 2008 will comprise an integrated series of practical workshops, managed exhibitions, demonstrations and field visits. This enables delegates to maximise their time at the event. The programme will cover;
New technologies for improving plantation silviculture
Developments in data collection and inventory tools
Integrated forest management information systems
Innovations in remote sensing for forest inventory and mapping
Acoustic tools for segregating logs and forest stands
Scanning systems and acoustic tools for determining internal log defectsIn addition to disseminating technical information, this is a unique networking opportunity for Australian forestry managers and technical staff. Based on feedback in 2007, it will become a regular part of the forestry calendar in both Australia and New Zealand.


Who should attend?

Forestry managers, forest owners, technical foresters, forestry consultants, plantation forestry researchers and key suppliers to the Australian forestry industry.
