Dear participants and partners of the Montréal Wood Convention,
As the year draws to a close, we would like to take a moment to sincerely thank you. Your continued engagement, trust, and participation make the Montréal Wood Convention (MWC) a key gathering for our industry.
2025 has not been an easy one. Economic conditions remain challenging for the lumber sector, putting unprecedented pressures on the market. Yet in times of uncertainty, one thing remains clear: our industry has always demonstrated resilience and innovation.
It is precisely in this context that the MWC plays its role. More than a convention, the MWC is a place to connect, exchange ideas, and engage in strategic reflection. It is where decision-makers, producers, manufacturers, suppliers, and partners come together to better understand current challenges, find practical solutions, and collectively identify the levers needed to unlock the market and move forward with confidence.
The MWC is for everyone. Regardless of the size of your organization or your role within the value chain, you will find an engaged community and relevant content designed to help you move forward. Montréal is an open, welcoming, and dynamic city which has long been a natural meeting place for the wood industry, a city where ideas flow, relationships are built, and participants leave with a clearer vision of the future.
Registration for the MWC remains open, and we would be delighted to welcome you to Montréal. Please note that exhibitor booths are currently on a waiting list, reflecting the strong level of interest from across the industry.
Thank you for being part of this community. During this holiday season, we extend our warmest wishes to you and your loved ones for health, success, and peace. We also wish you a happy and prosperous 2026, filled with new opportunities and renewed momentum for our industry. We look forward to seeing you in Montréal as we shape the next chapter of our industry—together.
On behalf of the entire Montréal Wood Convention team,
Sven Gustavsson Event Director and Christian Gilbert Chair, Organizing Committee and Sales Director at J.D Irving
