Connect and create for transformation, impact and possibility
The need for transformation in our built environment has never been greater. As the climate crisis accelerates, we must embrace new ways of thinking, designing, and building. Timber and regenerative construction offer powerful solutions, but their success depends on collaboration across industries. WoodBUILD 2025 is the place to connect with experts, spark innovation, and create impact. Join us to explore bold ideas, forge new partnerships, and shape a future where sustainable materials and resilient design lead the way.
Since its launch in 2016, WoodBUILD has grown into Wales’ leading event for the timber industry and low-carbon housing. Building on the success of last year’s dynamic gathering, WoodBUILD 2025 promises two action-packed days of inspiring speakers, expert exhibitors, thought-provoking panels, interactive plenaries, hands-on demonstrations, and collaborative workshops. Join over 250 industry leaders on 3-4 June in Llandudno to connect, innovate, and drive meaningful change.
Venue: St George’s Hotel, The Promenade, Llandudno, Conwy, LL30 2LG
WoodBUILD 2025 will unite timber and construction stakeholders to collaborate, innovate, and drive opportunities for meaningful change.
