What if you could build stronger, faster, and more sustainably? Mass timber is making that a reality, and the industry’s top minds are converging at Mass Timber+ 2025 to show you how. From October 28–30, Boston’s Hynes Convention Center will host this essential event for anyone looking to build a better future with wood.

Formerly known as IWBC, Mass Timber+ is a standalone event hosted by Forest Economic Advisors and WoodWorks . It brings together architects, engineers, contractors, manufacturers, developers, and policy leaders to focus on solutions, not just conversation. Key themes include:

• Mass Timber & Offsite Manufacturing
• Design for Manufacture & Assembly (DfMA)
• Reducing Embodied Carbon
• Delivery Options (light frame, panelized, volumetric modular)
• Labor Solutions and Automation
