The 26th International Wood Construction Conference (IHF 2022) was held 30 Nov – 2 Dec 2022 at the Congress and Trade Fair Centre in Innsbruck, Austria. Hosted by FORUM HOLZBAU, this leading global forum brought together architects, engineers, planners, builders, researchers and craftsmen for three days of presentations, workshops and exchange on timber construction trends, innovations and practical experiences.

Participants had opportunities to share insights on sustainable timber building, digitalisation, industrialised prefabrication, and multi-storey wood architecture, as well as engage in networking formats like the “World Café” and B2B cooperation platforms that connected companies and professionals from across Europe and beyond.

The conference’s international and interdisciplinary programme fostered knowledge exchange and collaboration across design, engineering, industry and research, reaffirming IHF’s role as a key hub for advancing innovative, eco-focused wood construction solutions.
