The American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) are collaborating with Timber Development UK (TDUK) to host the American Hardwood Trade Symposium at The Building Centre in London.

This will be the first time in several years when American hardwood experts and suppliers, as well as UK and EU importers, traders and merchants will be gathered together from both sides of the Atlantic to discuss the state of the market.

It is expected that up to 200 members of the transatlantic hardwood community will attend this essential knowledge sharing and networking event.

Speakers include Mike Snow, executive director of AHEC, Dan Meyer, editor of Hardwood Review, George White, consultant to the Sustainable Hardwood Coalition, and Rupert Oliver, of Forest Industries Intelligence.

Key presentations during the symposium will focus on global trade flows of American hardwood, analysis of supply trends, how risk-based certification will change market access, and the implications of incoming EU Deforestation Free Regulation (EUDR).

These presentations will be supplemented by two panel discussion from both key American Hardwood exporters, along with UK & European importers.
