Welcome to UGA’s 2011 Timberland Investment Conference


 

March 23-25, 2011

The Ritz-Carlton Lodge at Reynolds Plantation, Lake Oconee, GA

 
Global Wood Markets & Trade and Timberland Investments are the focus of our 2011 conference as emerging markets have placed a large demand on all commodities including wood products. Attendees will learn of the current market participants and how to meet the needs of these emerging markets. With domestic consumption of wood fiber at historically low levels, international trade is key to continued growth. Participants at the 2011 conference will include public and private pension funds, private investors, family offices, fund of funds, REITs, private consultants, large landowners, TIMOs, and forest product companies. This diverse attendance base offers participants the ability to learn about every facet of the timberland business and network with representatives from each of these organizations.
