Sustainability requires leadership and innovative solutions to local, national, and global environmental challenges—solutions rooted in diverse perspectives and collaborative efforts. The SFI Annual Conference brings these conversations to life by connecting leaders across the forest and sustainability sectors to explore how markets, innovation, and nature-based solutions can drive measurable sustainability impacts.

SFI is a recognized leader in advancing sustainability through forest-focused collaboration. We actively engage with a diverse network of SFI-certified organizations, community and conservation leaders, Indigenous representatives, government officials, researchers, educators, and more to explore solutions that strengthen our forests and economies.

Join us in Montréal to connect with sustainability leaders, gain valuable market insights, and discuss how responsible forest management, supply chain transparency, conservation, and climate solutions are shaping a more sustainable future. The conference will take place from Tuesday afternoon through Thursday, but we encourage attendees to come early or stay a little longer to enjoy all that Montréal has to offer.
