Karlstad Market Conference 2022
On 16 and 17 November, the wood industry will once more be meeting in Karlstad, in a tradition that dates back over 50 years. Like the past few years, 2022 has been an exciting time for the industry on many fronts, so we are particularly looking forward to seeing everyone in person again in Karlstad. This year the main focus is on topical forestry issues and the market for sawn wood products. Swedish Wood is organising a seminar on November 17, no registration required. On November 16, our exhibition is open.
You can watch the event afterwards.
