This opportunity comes with a free conference registration – up to about eight of them in fact for – for this year’s WoodWorks event running in Rotorua, New Zealand on 8-9 November 2022. The Forest Industry Engineering Association (FIEA) has teamed up with the WIDE Trust, a charitable Trust formed in 2018 that supports the development and education in New Zealand’s forestry and wood industry sectors.
What’s being offered? To help out younger employees, recent graduates and new entrants into the industry, this new arrangement will enable up to eight young employees, recent graduates or students to attend the upcoming WoodWorks 2022 event with all major conference expenses being paid.
Mass timber technology developments, including LVL and CLT, prefabrication and connection systems are set to transform commercial buildings. So, as well as the opportunity of learning about new technology, staying abreast with the very latest in research and operating practices, learning about emerging technologies (within and outside our own industry), you’ll be able to network with leaders in engineered wood design and construction. Now that’s an offer just too good not to look at further.
Previous offers for tech events earlier in 2022 have been snapped up. Details for the event can be found on the event website, www.woodworks.events/woodworks-2022/.
Conditions: Applicants for the complimentary places for WoodWorks 2022 have to be actively employed within the wood products and/or design industries or in a recognised training scheme, apprenticeship or course. The places are available only to those that haven’t yet registered to attend the conference. And, to ensure the package is targeting the right person, the applicants should also be 35 years or younger.
What do I do if interested? Places will be filled on a first in-first served basis, provided the eligibility criteria have been met. So, if keen on picking up one of these complimentary available spaces for the upcoming WoodWorks 2022 event, please make contact with gordon.thomson@innovatek.co.nz
