The heart of the Southeastern timber belt.
Birmingham sits in the heart of the Southeastern timber belt, surrounded by some of the most productive forestry regions in the United States. Alabama alone has more than 23 million acres of timberland, and across the Southeast forestry contributes over $300 billion annually to the regional economy.
The city is connected by major freight corridors including I-20, I-65, and I-59 - heavily traveled routes for logging trucks and timber haulers moving wood products across Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, and the Carolinas. That central location makes it an ideal gathering point for forestry fleets and industry professionals.
The main venue, Barber Motorsports Park, offers space for demonstrations, equipment displays, and hands-on technology experiences that are difficult to host in traditional conference venues.
