2025 Agenda

This year’s agenda is being curated by event co-producers at WoodWorks and Forest Economic Advisors (FEA). Stay tuned for session-by-session updates in the coming months.

In addition to providing the latest industry guidance, content will focus on how to successfully implement offsite construction practices on your next wood project—whether it be a mass timber, light-frame wood, or hybrid structure.

Here’s an overview of what this year’s agenda will cover:

• Offsite Construction 101 – learn the various levels of offsite construction, from prefabricated components to volumetric modules, and how to apply them to your projects.
• Design for Manufacturing – understand the importance of collaborating with your project’s manufacturer to ensure your details and design intent can work with their fabrication process to maximize efficiency.
• Pricing a Mass Timber Project – hear from mass timber project teams on lessons learned and key line items to account for when building a cost estimate for your mass timber project.
• New Markets for Wood Construction & Project Case Studies – hear from project teams that have expanded the use of wood products into new market sectors and teams who have successfully implemented offsite construction practices in their wood projects.
• Acoustics in Wood Construction – learn about the latest industry testing and data to make sure your next project meets expectations when it comes to acoustics.
• Protecting your Investment – learn effective strategies to protect your offsite construction components as they travel to the site and get installed.
• Understanding Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) – learn how to properly perform a LCA when benchmarking your project for carbon.
• Accelerator Programs – hear from participants in grant-funded programs to understand lessons learned in their respective jurisdictions as well as how you may go about pursuing funding.
• Innovative Technologies – hear from leading companies on what innovation and technology is being brought into their process to make the built environment more efficient.
