Source: Jason Ross The first WCTE to be held in Australia, home to some of the world’s most ambitious mid-rise and high-rise timber buildings — Professor Keith Crews, chair of WCTE 2025, welcomed delegates from 44 countries to the June 22-26 conference, which will eventually see up to 1000 delegates attend the five-day conference. Addressing a packed auditorium at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre (BCEC) in South Bank, Professor Crews revealed that behind Australia (with 250 delegates), Japan (127), Canada (68), the United States (60), New Zealand (52) and Germany were the countries with the most representatives at the conference, with this year’s theme focused on “Advancing Timber for the Future Building Environment.” Among the delegates was Karl-Heinz Weiss, the first of several keynote speakers at the conference. Speaking to from the auditorium stage, Weiss, considered a pioneer in UK and Australian-based engineered timber, said that Australia’s timber engineering history dates back more than a century. “Atlassian (the 39-storey hybrid skyscraper that is currently under construction over Sydney’s Central Station) is making headlines, but its background is much deeper,” he said.
