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:

  • case studies on real buildings
  • structural design and connection detailing
  • fire and acoustics
  • seismic performance
  • embodied carbon
  • latest code developments

Continuing education credits are available, including AIA LU/HSW, ICC, and NCSEA credits, so the time you invest counts toward your license and professional development requirements.

New to mass timber? Start here.
If you’re an architect or engineer moving into mass timber for the first time, the Wednesday Mass Timber Boot Camp — sponsored by WoodWorks — gives you a fast, practical foundation in CLT, glulam, mass plywood, product selection, and design strategies in a single morning.

It’s the most efficient way to get up to speed as the full conference program begins.

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.

Walk through full-scale Kalesnikoff modular units, watch live robotics demonstrations and the Ironworkers demo, explore the IMTC Tech Hub, and engage with the TallWood Design Institute’s interactive research pavilions.

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 five distinct building tours of completed mass timber projects across the city — consistently sold out because there’s no substitute for walking the building, talking to the team, and seeing the details up close.

It’s the perfect lead-in to our schedule of sessions and exhibits grounded in real construction.

Where mass timber deals get done
For developers and project teams, The Boardroom is a standout feature: selected developers pitch qualified mass timber projects to a panel of active investors, with live Q&A and real underwriting insight.

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.

Connect with your community
This is the largest gathering of mass timber professionals in the world, and the networking is engineered to match.

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.

Be part of where mass timber is going
The International Mass Timber Conference & Expo is where the products get launched, the research gets shared, the projects get funded, and the next generation gets its start.

If you build with mass timber — or want to — this is where you need to be.
