14th European Wood-based Panel Symposium
October 14 - 16, 2026, Grand Elysée Hotel, Hamburg


Thank you very much for a successful event!

Around 360 participants from Germany and abroad gathered to discuss current developments and future trends in the wood-based panel industry - including artificial intelligence, recycling and the circular economy, innovative materials, the use of wood-based materials in construction, as well as economic and climate-related conditions.

Organized by Fraunhofer WKI, the European Panel Federation (EPF), and iVTH, this event - the world’s largest of its kind - served as an international forum for knowledge transfer, professional exchange, and networking. A technical program of 21 presentations, along with two evening events, provided valuable opportunities for personal networking.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all participants, speakers, and moderators for the engaging presentations and inspiring discussions. Special thanks go to our sponsors and exhibitors for their support, particularly to Hywax GmbH for hosting the evening event. Without your commitment, this symposium would not have been possible! We are already looking forward to welcoming you to the next European Wood-based Panel Symposium!
