Join us for the 2025 SFI Annual Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota, from May 20-23, 2025.

This year’s theme, “Growing Our Future: Celebrating 30 Years of Innovation and Leadership,” celebrates three decades of achievements in sustainable forestry that provide the foundation for an exciting new era of innovation and collaboration. 

Sustainability requires leadership and innovative solutions to local, national, and global environmental challenges—solutions rooted in diverse perspectives and collaborative efforts. SFI is a recognized leader in advancing sustainability through forest-focused collaboration. We actively engage with a diverse network of SFI-certified organizations, community and conservation leaders, Indigenous representatives, government officials, researchers, educators, and more to explore solutions to sustainability challenges.

Don’t miss the opportunity to connect with sustainability leaders and discuss sustainable forest management, supply chain transparency, biodiversity conservation, and more at the 2025 SFI Annual Conference!
