The 2024 edition of DEMO International concluded on September 21 after five full days of displays, industry networking, and the latest in forestry innovation. Hosted by SBC Cedar and organized by the Canadian Woodlands Forum, the event marked the successful return of DEMO International, continuing its 55-year legacy as one of the world’s largest live, in-forest equipment demonstrations.

With over $150 million in equipment on display from top manufacturers and suppliers internationally, over 6850 attendees had plenty to see and experience—showcasing excavators, mulchers, grinders, chippers, forwarders, harvesters, portable sawmills, log loaders, and more.
