Canada is ‘In Touch with Timber'
The Timber Research and Development Association’s (TRADA) ‘In Touch with Timber 2010’ seminar was held in London on 18 May 2010. The one-day seminar was arranged to inspire construction industry professionals make the most of timber, both structurally and aesthetically, while providing an update on latest developments, ideas and innovations.
The event takes place annually, and this year's theme was 'Innovations in Timber', focussing on what has been and can be achieved with timber. The programme comprised of four inspirational seminars in the morning, including an insight into the design of the Woodwave roof structure used on the Richmond Oval Winter Olympic Stadium in Vancouver, provided by Paul Fast of Fast + Epp Engineers.
Alongside the seminar programme there was an exhibition showcasing timber-based products and services. Canada Wood UK was amongst eighteen organisations that supported the event, and arranged a stand from which partner association’s literature was distributed, samples shown, and technical advice provided.
The event was attended by approximately 150 architects, engineers, contractors, architectural technologists, surveyors, timber importers, and journalists.
TRADA is planning to launch a new UK show for the timber industry in June 2011, titled Timber Expo. The two-day event will comprise the highly informative In Touch With Timber conference and a supporting exhibition. TRADA aim to attract at least 100 exhibitors offering timber industry solutions and technogies. The location of the show has yet to be decided, but it is likely to be in the English Midlands region.
