Why Attend
If you design, build, engineer, or specify with mass timber, this is the one event each year built specifically for you.
It brings together 3,000+ architects, builders, engineers, designers, manufacturers, developers, and suppliers from across the global mass timber supply chain — all in Portland, the city that helped put modern mass timber on the map.
Whether you’re chasing your first CLT project or running a portfolio of tall wood buildings, this is where you’ll find the people, the products, and the knowledge to take your next project further.
Learn from the people shaping the industry
The conference program is built for practitioners. Across our sessions and tracks, you’ll hear directly from the architects, engineers, builders, and researchers behind the projects you read about:
Track 1 • Finance | Developers | Investors
Insurance, risk, financing, and the moment mass timber beats traditional materials on cost. Where the numbers finally make the case.
Track 2 • Building Typology | Emerging Markets
Affordable housing, modular vs. kit-of-parts, and emerging building types — backed by deep-dive case studies showing what’s scaling and where.
Track 3 • Innovations | Construction
Hybrid systems, adaptive reuse, vertical additions, and real-world moisture solutions. The innovations changing how mass timber is built.
Track 4 • The Next Ten Years
Supply chain expansion, workforce development, and climate resilience — solving challenges that will define mass timber through 2036.
Continuing education credits are available, including AIA LU/HSW and ICC credits, so the time you invest counts toward your license and professional development requirements.
Step inside the Exhibit Hall
The Exhibit Hall is the largest mass timber trade show floor in North America — 200+ exhibitors spanning the full forest-to-building supply chain.
With cafes, lounges, and several receptions, the floor is built for conversation as much as for exhibits — the kind of place where the next introduction or the next idea is never more than a few steps away.
See real buildings, not just renderings
On Tuesday, join one of several distinct Mass Timber Building Tours of completed and mid-progress mass timber projects across the city — consistently sold out. There’s no substitute for walking the buildings, talking to the teams, and seeing the details up close. It’s the perfect lead-in to our schedule of sessions and exhibits grounded in real construction.
“The reason this conference is in Portland is because you throw a rock and you hit a mass timber building, and there’s really nowhere else in this country that that can happen. So being able to have these amazing industry-growing projects that are in our backyard, and get to show folks how to actually execute on mass timber, and what that looks like in real life, is worth its weight in gold.” — Brooke Whitsell, Senior Preconstruction Manager, Timberlab
It’s a rare window into how mass timber projects get evaluated and funded, useful whether you’re pitching, investing, or just learning how the business side works.
The Exhibit Hall Opening Reception on Wednesday, the Thursday Networking Reception, and the Friday Women in Timber Power Hour give you structured, relaxed ways to meet the leaders, peers, and future collaborators who will shape your work for years to come.
It’s the most efficient way to get up to speed as the full conference program begins.
