Canadian Institute of Forestry 2024 National Conference registration now open

Registration is now open for the Canadian Institute of Forestry/Institut forestier du Canada (CIF-IFC) 2024 National Conference and 116th Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Hosted in collaboration with the CIF-IFC Newfoundland and Labrador Section, this year’s conference and AGM will take place in a hybrid format from September 15 to 18, 2024, at the Sheraton Hotel Newfoundland and through a virtual platform. The conference theme, “Forest Protection,” will explore the various forest threats such as wildfire and invasive species and discuss a variety of sustainable forest management practices that protect our wildlands, and learn about ways to ensure the safety and wellness of our current and future forestry workforce.

The conference will also include a field tour where delegates can experience St. John’s and the surrounding area. Throughout the duration of the Conference, there will also be a variety of social events and networking opportunities, including: National Awards Ceremony and Banquet, Virtual Student Quiz Bowl, Poster Symposium, evening social event, and a silent auction to benefit Forests without Borders.

Attendance is welcome to any individual, but is highly recommended to all professionals, practitioners and students from the forestry and environmental/natural resources sectors and industries. While most of the conference sessions will be streamed virtually to reach a larger audience, we look forward to welcoming delegates in-person for maximum networking opportunities.

Formed in 1908, the CIF-IFC is the national voice of forest practitioners and many others with an interest in forestry and forests. The Institute strives to provide national leadership, promote competence, and foster public awareness of Canadian and international forestry/forest issues.
