11th International Hardwood Conference

Antwerp, 5–6 November 2026

Fedustria, the Belgian federation of the textile, wood and furniture industry, together with the European Organisation of the Sawmill Industry (EOS) and the European Timber Trade Federation (ETTF), invite you to the beautiful city of Antwerp for the International Hardwood Conference 2026 – one of the most anticipated events of the year in the wood industry.

On November 5, we will organise a fascinating tour of the Port of Antwerp – the second-largest in Europe. In the evening, you are invited to join us on the top floor of the Lindner Hotel for a welcome reception.
November 6 will be the main conference day, held at the Lindner Hotel. In the evening, we will gather in a unique setting for a networking dinner. This will offer participants the opportunity to expand their network and connect with key players in the international hardwood market.

The conference will provide in-depth insights into timber market trends, with a focus on data and analysis of hardwood production and consumption across key global markets – not only in Europe. Against a backdrop of a shifting geopolitical landscape, speakers will assess what the future may hold, as sawmillers and timber traders alike adapt to rapid change.

Further information on the conference and programme will follow in due course.
