UK – Wood Based Panels International’s (WBPI) virtual half-day conference event – Beyond Covid-19: The global wood-based panels industry adapting for the future – will be taking place on May 11.

The date has been changed from the original February 16 timeline and is now set to take place after Interzum on May 11, looking at how the international wood-based panels industry has adapted to the current pandemic and at movements in furniture trends.
