DEMO Expo heads to the capital

North America’s premier forestry equipment expo, DEMO International, will take over the Ottawa-Gatineau area from September 19 to 21. Held every four years in different regions across the country, this year marks the 14th edition of DEMO International. Over its 50-year history, DEMO International has evolved into one of North America’s largest and most unique outdoor equipment shows.

The festivities will kick off with the DEMO International pre-conference at the Delta Ottawa City Centre on September 17-18. Attendees will have the opportunity to delve into key industry topics, with presentations covering research, automation, digitalization, logging and trucking, biodiversity, and sustainability practices. Additionally, international forestry outlooks from Sweden and Finland will provide valuable perspectives on global trends and best practices.

DEMO International is renowned for its dynamic demonstrations of cutting-edge forestry equipment, offering attendees a firsthand glimpse into the future of the industry. From state-of-the-art machinery to groundbreaking technologies, exhibitors will showcase their products live in the woods, demonstrating their capabilities in action.

According to the organizers, the “all live and in action, in-woods” event will attract thousands of leaders in the equipment manufacturing sector, featuring the latest technologies in forestry equipment, products, and services covering all aspects of woodland operations, from fully mechanized to small-scale forestry.

As the flagship event of the Canadian Woodlands Forum, DEMO International is a must-attend for forestry professionals, showcasing the latest innovations amidst a stunning woodland backdrop. This edition will be hosted by SBC Cedar on one of their forest properties in Venosta, Quebec.
