KO Society 2025

This fall we celebrate a special anniversary: it has been 10 years since KO Society was founded. What once grew out of Valutec’s initiative “Valutadagarna” has today developed into an international forum and a natural meeting place for everyone working with lumber drying.

When: December 10–11
Where: Kosta Boda Art Hotel
Price: SEK 10,000 kr

Since its start in 2015, KO Society has had a clear objective – to create a platform for knowledge sharing, inspiration and professional development for kiln operators and other professionals involved in lumber drying. The forum is open to everyone, regardless of kiln brand, and is built on participation, curiosity and collaboration.

Over the years, KO Society has grown, both in scope and geography. In recent years, activities have been established in Norway, Finland and Germany – reflecting both the need and the desire for greater knowledge exchange within the industry. With a combination of annual meetings, digital forums and continuous dialogue, KO Society creates an environment where new knowledge can be shared and innovations can take root.

The anniversary year 2025 will be something truly special. We look forward to welcoming both past and new participants to celebrate a decade of progress, engagement and community!
