2025 Joint Convention

Join us June 15-20 in Fort Collins, Colorado for the

2025 FPS-SWST Joint Convention!

For the first time in many, many years, the Forest Products Society and the Society of Wood Science and Technology are joining together to bring the wood science community a dynamic joint convention at the Marriott Hotel in Fort Collins, Colorado.  This joint effort is guaranteed to offer an incredible value to Society members, 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 the convention.
