The CIF-IFC 2026 National Conference & 118th Annual General Meeting brings Canada’s forestry community together to reflect, connect, and move forward—together.
Held in Edmonton, Alberta, #2026CIF is a national gathering of forestry professionals, students, researchers, Indigenous partners, industry leaders, and decision-makers from across the country. Over several days, the conference will explore the ideas, tools, and relationships shaping the future of forestry in Canada.
Guided by the theme “Leading from Where We Are for a Brighter Future,” #2026CIF recognizes that leadership exists at every level; whether in the field, the classroom, the lab, the boardroom, or the community. The conference is designed to meet participants where they are today, while helping them grow toward what’s next.
