Sponsorship Opportunity

The International Society of Forest Resource Economics (ISFRE) and Western Forest Economist (WFE) annual meetings attract national and international forest economists, social scientists, and professionals and offer abundant opportunities for professional growth and development. ISFRE and WFE organize annual meetings that bring together representatives of industry, consulting, academia, and federal and state agencies to discuss current issues in the economics of forestry, timber supply and markets, timberland investments, and forest products trade. ISFRE and WFE members work in many specialty areas, including timber economics and management, forest products and their supply chain, forest product industry, ecosystem services, forest carbon, and GHG emissions, and include many veteran forest resource economists.

Sponsoring the conference is a great way to showcase your outstanding work and support forest resource utilization, management, and economics. Participants who attend the conference learn from one another about the latest research, outreach, and tools, and are actively seeking opportunities to collaborate with other researchers, industry representatives, and educators. Sponsorship of the 2026 ISFRE and WFE Joint Meeting can give your organization the opportunity to collaborate with leading resource economists and social scientists in the country, as well as to gain recognition and exposure for your company among the leaders.
