ELMIA WOOD 2009
Every four years, Sweden’s Elmia organization hosts the world’s largest forestry demo fair, most recently (2005) drawing 50,050 visitors from around the world, to view live harvesting demos and displays from 538 exhibitors on a 375-acre forested site near Jönköping.

The 2009 Elmia Wood Fair will be staged Wednesday through Saturday, June 3-6, near Jönköping, Sweden, at the same forested site as the 2005 Fair, with shuttle service provided from your choice of several types of lodgings in the area. A one-day Pre-Show Conference on harvesting residues and slash will precede the Wood Fair, on Tuesday, June 2 (separate registration necessary).

English is the official language, of the June 2 Slash Conference and the June 3-6 Wood Fair.

Elmia’s Travel and Accommodation page presents options for traveling to southern Sweden and reserving rooms, with the help of the city’s own travel agency.
