MASS TIMBER TALKS 2027 is a one-day professional conference about applying timber construction in Czech conditions, from early calculations and structural design through project risk management and economics.1 It will take place on 26 January 2027 at Hotel Diplomat in Prague.1
The programme is intended primarily for developers, investors and general contractors; architects and designers are also addressed through technical presentations.1 It is aimed both at professionals already experienced with timber buildings and at people considering them for the first time.1 The event will connect Czech experience with European know-how and include examples and practical experience from Czech and international projects.1
Topics include the design of multi-storey mass-timber buildings, fire safety, acoustics, building physics, timber–concrete hybrid structures, moisture, prefabrication and logistics.1 Sessions will also address risk management, insurability and the economics of development projects.1 Two parallel programme tracks are planned, combining technical solutions with investor and developer perspectives.1
The listed organisers are MASS TIMBER CORE s.r.o., the Wood Research and Development Institute in Prague (Dřevařský ústav), and Rothoblaas Srl.1 Jitka Beránková of Dřevařský ústav, Lukáš Krbec of MASS TIMBER CORE and Viktor Fajta of Rothoblaas are among the people quoted in the event announcement; Robert Prix is also quoted on fire safety.1 The event listing does not give a founding date for the conference or its organisers.1 The conference will be interpreted simultaneously into and from English.1
