Egurtek 2026 in Bilbao: the timber construction forum

Egurtek is southern Europe's leading gathering for timber architecture and construction. Every two years, architects, engineers, developers and manufacturers meet at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre to discuss the latest advances in sustainable building systems, timber structures and taller wood-based buildings. The programme blends international keynote talks, panel discussions and an exhibition area showcasing construction systems, products and certifications tied to the wood and forestry sector. Its technical, single-topic focus makes it a must-attend stop for anyone designing or delivering timber projects. Bilbao, with its industrial heritage and its commitment to low-carbon building, provides the right backdrop for a forum that also addresses decarbonisation in construction. If you plan to attend, staying at hotels near the Bilbao Exhibition Centre in Barakaldo puts you within walking distance or a short metro ride of the venue.
