The third annual Michigan Mass Timber Update 2024: Opening Doors is a one-day gathering featuring short, upbeat presentations by an array of folks actively advancing mass timber in Michigan. These quick talks will provide you with a holistic understanding of the exciting mass timber progress we’re making in Michigan and inspire you to continue to be part of this momentum. In addition, you’ll have opportunities to network, meet potential collaborators, deepen connections with existing partners, and tour the brand new Adelaide Pointe development with two mass timber buildings.

Note: The event is invitation-only and registration is required. If you would like an invitation extended to a mass timber colleague based in, or operating in Michigan, please contact Sandra Lupien at lupiensa@msu.edu.

The event is produced by MassTimber@MSU in collaboration with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Renewable Resource Solutions, with sponsorship support from Adelaide Pointe. The event is funded in part through a grant awarded by U.S. Forest Service Wood Innovations. USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
