Forestry Futures Conference

A Century of Innovation, Sustainability, and Growth.

In 1927 a small group of foresters formed what would become the New Zealand Institute of Forestry. One hundred years later we gather to celebrate the people, forests, achievements and challenges which have shaped our profession and to consider the next century ahead.

Join us for a landmark event as the New Zealand Institute of Forestry and our Australian Forestry colleagues unite to celebrate a century of progress and partnership. This prestigious joint conference not only honours the sector’s remarkable achievements but also anticipates the opportunities and challenges of the next hundred years.

Over several days, immerse yourself in reflections on the influential people, groundbreaking ideas, and innovative technologies that have shaped today’s forests. Engage with leading experts on climate, land use, technology, and investment as we explore the future of forestry.

Held in our capital city and coinciding with NZIF’s centennial, this event presents a unique opportunity to connect across the Tasman, exchange practical experiences, and help shape the future direction of forestry in our region. Whether you are a practitioner, investor, researcher, or policymaker, this conference is an essential gathering you won’t want to miss. Secure your tickets today and be part of this historic occasion.
