This accredited series, scheduled to be held in person at the GBM and presented by BC’s wood industry suppliers and partners, will explore current architectural projects and manufacturing advancements.

The GBM is Canada’s largest event of its kind with attendance on an “invitation-only” basis. The GBM brings together those who specify, source, and use wood products with Canadian manufacturers and suppliers.
