The 2025 Global Buyers Mission (GBM) is scheduled for September 4th to 6th in Whistler, B.C. The GBM is the largest and most important wood show for international buyers and Canadian sellers of value-added wood products. As BC Wood’s premier business development activity, the GBM helps value-added manufacturers connect with hundreds of qualified international buyers and specifiers of wood products. Sales generated from the GBM have increased nine-fold since the first event in 2004, to over $35 million per year.
