A one-day conference and exhibitions will run over the two days for sawmilling staff and saw doctors (see programme for more information). In addition, two workshops will be running:

• Day 1: Pre-conference morning workshop: Managing and making use of data to drive the business
  • Conference Session: Technology advancements in sawing, scanning, mill optimisation and manufacturing
• Day 2: Conference sessions:
  • Saw design, selection, maintenance and operation
  • Wood treatment and modification technologies and opportunities for local wood producers
  • Post-conference workshop The wood processing skills pipeline – broken but repairable.’

International sawmillers will be able to live stream the full two-day event. Sawmill site registrations for WoodTECH 2022 will be able to be set up. This enables the event or specific presentations to be watched live or the presentations accessed later for mill sites (where a site virtual rate has been set up) to use for their own on-site meetings, troubleshooting or training.
