The Timber Framers Guild invites you to promote your company or organization to timber framers and related professionals from across North America who are gathering at the Timber Framers Guild’s national conference in Keystone, Colorado. Our Nov. 10-12 conference is expected to attract 300+ skilled professionals, timber framing enthusiasts, architects, engineers, and more. As always, the conference focuses on engineering, design, the built environment, and sustainability, as well as historic structures and their preservation and the advancement of the craft. We expect great enthusiasm and attendance. It is an excellent opportunity to talk to a uniquely targeted group of decision-makers who are designing and building some of the finest homes and commercial projects.

One full registration is included per 8x10 booth, additional booth personnel receive discounted registrations.

Join Us for a Pre-Conference Event: TFEC Symposium

The Timber Frame Engineering Council will be hosting a pre-conference symposium at the Keystone Science School on Thursday, November 9. Join us for a full day of presentations from industry professionals who will cover a wide range of wood engineering topics, and earn continuing education credits from this AIA-approved event. Whether you are a practicing structural engineer, an architect or designer, a timber framer, or a wood enthusiast, this popular event is an excellent opportunity to increase your knowledge of wood and network with colleagues from around the country. Registration is only $225 and includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as the yearly TFEC members meeting and an evening attendee slideshow with a cash bar. Questions? Email TFEC Chair Brian Malone or click HERE to learn more.

Funding for Young Engineers

As a result of a generous donation, we are launching the Jan Lewandoski Fellowships, which will give $1,000 to ten young engineers to help defray their costs for participating in the Conference and the associated TFEC Symposium.  One goal is strengthening the international timber framing community. Applicants should be (1) an engineering student or early-career engineer under age 32, (2) a non-US citizen, and (3) have demonstrated interest in timber framing, be it new construction or historic preservation. The applicant can be living in the United States or elsewhere. This means, for example, that a person from the EU currently enrolled or doing research at a US institution is eligible. Applications must be submitted through this online form. Any questions can be directed to ed@tfguild.org.

Registration is open! Registration rates for 2023 are $625 per person for TFG members. Should you need to cancel your registration, requests received prior to September 16 receive a 75% refund.
