 ABOUT THE EVENT

The Forest, the Future and You is a digital theme day for those curious about the future – and about how your skills can make a difference in an industry that plays a crucial role in the transition toward a more sustainable society.
 

Throughout the day, you’ll get to experience talks and lectures that offer an honest and inspiring look at what it’s really like to work in the forest industry. You’ll hear from young professionals sharing how they entered the field, what made them stay, and what they wish they had known before they started. You’ll also hear from company leaders who will share their perspectives on the future of society, leadership, and why young people are essential for the industry.
 

In our digital exhibition hall, you can visit companies from all over Sweden, read about their work, see what they’re looking for, and chat with them directly. You choose what to take part in and when.
 

It’s free, flexible, and open to all students and recent graduates – regardless of background or field of study.

Here's how it works

The theme day takes place on October 23, 2025, but you don't have to attend the whole day – you choose what you want to participate in and when.
You log in through a link, move between digital booths, listen to lectures, and can chat with companies – everything happens online and is free.
