The 2020 FPS International Conference, scheduled for June 22-25, is moving to a virtual format. This now 100% online event will feature a high-quality learning environment and peer-to-peer engagement including technical sessions, panel discussions, and poster presentations. In addition, FPS will be publishing a special edition of the Forest Products Journal in conjunction with the online event. FPS will also virtually present the prestigious FPS 2020 Annual Excellence Awards.
The FPS Virtual International Convention will be a premier event for professionals in the forest products industry including scientists, design professionals, managers, decision makers, and others from academia, government, nonprofits, and industry sectors to discuss the state of forest products research and learn about innovations in the field. Students in wood science are encouraged to attend.
To make the most of your virtual experience, FPS will be reissuing a call for papers so that additional presenters have the opportunity to submit both abstracts and posters. New to the FPS IC this year are pre-organized technical sessions. The goal of these sessions is to bring together critical masses of FPS Virtual IC attendees with expertise and interest in specific topics.
Learn more about these sessions here
and stay tuned for instructions on submitting your abstract.
The FPS Virtual IC is dedicated to encouraging and facilitating the development and application of technical knowledge that will enable humanity to derive maximum benefit from renewable wood-based materials and forest products. Please be on the lookout on how you can attend and participate in the event in future announcements coming very soon.
We look forward to your participation!
Sincerely,
The International Conference Planning Committee
