The Annual Icelandic Forestry Conference is as the title indicates a forum for knowledge exchange and discussion in the Icelandic forest sector. The conference has been held for over two decades and shifts its venue from year to year between regions. Last year it was held at the Edinburgh House in Ísafjörður in the Westfjords, and the year before that at Hotel Geysir in Haukadalur South-Iceland.
