ForestTECH 2025
Nov 18, 2025 - Nov 26, 2025 12:00am
Run annually since 2007, this event is the 'must-attend' technology event for forest resource managers, remote sensing, GIS and mapping specialists, inventory foresters, and tree crop and forest establishment managers from across Australasia.
This well-established forest management technology conference is highly rated by forest managers, applied forest technology specialists and tree crop and forest establishment managers from across Australasia.
The ForestTECH 2025 conference series provides a valuable, and independent platform, showcasing new and emerging technologies in remote sensing, data capture, inventory management and precision silviculture.
The event draws on the strong links between applied research providers and industry leaders ensures the most up-to-date technology applications form part of the speakers’ programmes each year. International technology providers are always willing to provide insights for forest managers on how their latest applications can bring improved crop results and better outcomes for forest management focused on radiata pine and related Southern Hemisphere production forest species.
For our November 2025 conference series includes presentations on:
- Satellite detection of disturbance / health in Australian softwood plantations
- US and Chile case studies using new forest roading technologies
- Rapid damage assessment tool – In response to recent severe weather events
- Human Factors in technology adoption: Operational Learnings in mechanised planting
- NZ trials on bareroot mechanised lifter prototype planters
- Case studies in terrestrial and airborne laser scanning for advanced forestry applications
- The digital leap into scalable, live, geospatial intelligence
- Revealing the true value of forests through drone and AI analysis
The adoption and use of new technologies by forest companies and the willingness to share lessons from in-forest trials and commercial operations across the wider industry has been one of the key strengths of this annual series.
This applied technology event specifically designed and delivered by practical ‘boots-on-the-ground/drone in the air’ foresters is the ‘must-attend’ technology event for forest resource managers, remote sensing, GIS and mapping specialists, inventory foresters
The event dates are 18-19 November 2025, Rotorua, New Zealand and 25-26 November 2025, Melbourne, Australia. Register now to get early-bird rates.
