Join us in Vancouver, October 22-24, 2025 for
The FPS International Conference on Wood Adhesives!

The International Conference on Wood Adhesives is the premier technical conference on advances in the adhesion of wood and biomass. Industry representatives were the majority of the nearly 300 attendees in 2017 and 2022, evenly split between the U.S. and the rest of the world.

Whether you are an adhesive supplier or user or user of the downstream product; from industry, academia, government, or NGO, this conference provides a unique opportunity. Don't wait another three or four years!

If your business depends on having solid technical knowledge about glued wood products, this conference is for you. We recruit the best technical thinkers in the field of wood adhesives—giving you the most value for your time. Plus, attendees receive access to conference proceedings. 

Announcements will be made as information becomes available.
