EVENTS
Afterwards, Peggy Sithole took a few minutes to introduce the Wood Student Foundation( WSF). In 2012 the WSF was founded with the aim to encourage students’ knowledge as how to deal intensively with all aspects of promoting wood construction in a master’ s or bachelor’ s level with the solicitation of a theoretical essay / thesis, before delegates enjoyed a buffet lunch and networking opportunity to end off the day.“ We have a lot to work to be done and we’ d like students to get involved,” said Sitole.
The conference then officially closed and delegates were invited to view the Bloch tree at the cocktail reception at the Westin.
Later the evening, the VIP dinner was held at The Cullinan hotel to thank the team and speakers for pulling off another great conference. Until next year.
