The conclave is a unique all-day event hosted by Chora Connection promoting the sustainable use of wood in Denmark. The purpose of the day is to exhibit quality knowledge for how society, companies and consumers as well, can bene t on multiple parameters from the integration of sustainable wood in the value chain of danish design, production and construction.
This international event is the culmination of a series of workshops held throughout the past year to catalyse actions to raise awareness and help develop methods for a more robust use of one of the most abundant bio- materials- WOOD. The Go2WOOD conclave’s goal is to promote Denmark as a sustainable leader in construction and wood production.
The program is inspired by the FOREST - a place for rich bio-diversity and recreation but also a vital production resource of sustainable timber- the workhorse of carbon xing. We are featuring some of the world’s front runners in wood construction, industrial design and technologies in wood.
Canadian architect MICHAEL GREEN will present the virtues of tall buildings structured in cross laminate timber and how his work has inspired a new generation of architects and engineers. The following keynotes have already been con rmed: Niels Elers Koch, Anne Biem, Nick Milestone, Mikkel Mørch, Jakob Rygg Klaumann, Andrew Waugh, Dan Cornelius, Frank Erichsen, Søren Nielsen, Jonas Rönnberg, Mikael Koch with many more to be announced.

The Go2WOOD initiative, grounded in the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals is a inter-disciplinary and working knowledge platform that is engaged with several prototypes to promote sustainable use of wood.
The morning session will feature inspirational presentations focused on the entire wood industry value chain. This will be open to students and delegates. In the afternoon, the delegates will be divided into three parallel sessions- themed on industrial design, architecture and education. These sessions will o er case presentations and forge new cross disciplinary relationships, a hallmark of the Go2WOOD initiative.
The outcome of the day is results-oriented, to develop new dynamic actions and methods for promoting wood in danish production and construction, based on the latest cross-sectorial knowledge on WOOD as a valuable and sustainable production material.
All food and beverages during the day is organic and bio-inspired.
We welcome you to join us at the Go2WOOD Conclave 2016, if you are a part of the wood industry, or want to participate in a unique dialogue about the material of the times.
