Moderator:
Amazon and Meta Discuss the Future of Mass Timber
Why are the world’s largest tech companies exploring mass timber for their campuses, warehouses, and data centers — and encouraging innovation across the construction industry? This powerhouse keynote brings together leaders from some of the most influential names in tech to explore how sustainable materials, data-driven design, and climate goals are converging to transform the built environment.
Over the next 10 years, these companies will play a pivotal role in driving demand for renewable materials, redefining workplace design, and setting new benchmarks for low-carbon construction. Hear about their blockers and progress to scale, how they are rethinking supply chains, and how collaborative action in the real estate market can help bring this vision to life. Why should we all address the barriers towards a future of wood-based architecture — not just for sustainability, but for culture, health, and human experience.
Join us for a rare look into how big tech is exploring mass timber in the buildings of tomorrow.
