Conference
FP LOG, the first European Conference on Forest Products, is a two day event bringing
together decision makers from the forest products industry and the transport/logistics
service providers FP industry relies on in the supply chain.
Speakers are recruited both for their theoretical and practical expertise in various transport modes and in different parts of the supply chain related to the forest
products industry. The conference aims to be highly interactive with a panel discussion at the end of each session. Delegates are encouraged to participate in the
discussions and the Q+A round following each of the sessions.
As the conference attracts delegates from all over and as no country should be favoured, the language of the conference will be English.
The topics of the conference are such that the whole variety of the target group will benefit:
