For the first time in many years, the Forest Products Society (FPS) and the Society of Wood Science and Technology (SWST) are joining together to bring the wood science community at dynamic joint convention at the Marriott Hotel in Fort Collins, Colorado. This joint effort is guaranteed to offer an incredible value to academics and industry personnel alike!

​

The Joint Convention organizing committee is spearheaded by FPS’ Vice President Joseph Jakes (Research Materials Engineer for the U.S. Forest Service at the Forest Products Laboratory) and SWST’s President-Elect Francesco Negro (Associate Professor of Wood Science and Technology at the University of Torino, Italy).  This dynamic duo are two leading researchers dedicated to encouraging and facilitating the development and application of technical knowledge that will enable Joint Convention attendees to derive maximum benefit from renewable wood-based materials and forest products production.

​

FPS and SWST invite all interested to visit the Joint Convention’s new website at fps-swst2025convention.com for detailed information on session topics. Abstracts are due by February 15, 2025.
