The Details: There will be four event tracks: Reimagining Our Cities; Project Delivery With Mass Timber: New Product, New Process; Building Performance: Design & Implementation; Overcoming Barriers & Growing the Market. There will be an exhibition as well as various building tours.
If you’ll be attending the conference, be sure to check out my friends at Cut My Timber. They will be hosting a building tour of their shop. Talk to them about how software, data, CNC machines and robots make very innovative mass timber building possible and cost effective. The technology tools to transform the industry already exist and are improving rapidly. The challenge is to bring together the right teams on the best projects.
The future is here – let’s build it out of wood here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest!
