Sponsors & Exhibitors

The International Boreal Forest Research Association (IBFRA) 2026 Conference brings together an international community of researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and partners working at the forefront of boreal forest science.

Under the theme Living with Disturbance: Resilience in Boreal Forests, the conference will explore how boreal ecosystems and the societies that depend on them are responding to accelerating environmental change.

By sponsoring IBFRA 2026, organizations have a unique opportunity to:

  • Support high-quality scientific exchange

  • Advance research on forest disturbance and climate resilience

  • Engage directly with global leaders shaping the future of boreal forests

Sponsorship supports not only conference events, but also the scientific program itself—including plenary sessions, student participation, knowledge mobilization, and interdisciplinary dialogue—while providing meaningful visibility and networking opportunities with an international audience.

We invite sponsors and exhibitors to partner with IBFRA 2026 in advancing science, collaboration, and solutions for resilient boreal forests.
