Let timber lead. Let it transform. Let it form the future.

9 September 2025 (8:00 – 16:30)

Future Africa, University of Pretoria

The Timber Construction Conference is a vibrant platform that brings together voices from across the built environment and beyond to explore the transformative potential of timber. Hosted as part of the Growing Timber Connections initiative, the Conference will feature architects, timber builders, developers, marketers, social influencers, sustainability specialists, academics, and event organisers who will share their stories.

This year’s programme reflects the diverse roles timber plays in our lives. Presentations range from inspiring building design and green certification to the social value of forests as leisure destinations and lifestyle brands. Contributions from marketing students, academic leaders, and global industry experts highlight both the urgency and opportunity of letting timber lead.

The conference fosters collaboration across disciplines and industries, rooted in a shared commitment to sustainability, innovation, and a circular economy. It’s not just about building with timber—it’s about building purposefully, regeneratively, and inclusively. 

Timber is more than a construction material; it is a catalyst for regeneration, connection, and creativity. From architectural innovation to low-carbon development, from trail networks through forest landscapes to sustainable furniture, timber opens pathways that reconnect people with place, community, and nature.
