Under warm and sunny skies, the 86th Annual Oregon Logging Conference (OLC) attracted record numbers of industry professionals, families, friends and members of the public.

The entire Lane Events Center and Fairgrounds in Eugene was packed to the brim with more than 10 acres of millions of dollars of equipment in the outside area and more than 150,000 sq. ft. of indoor exhibits, educational seminars and events and social activities.

"I was very pleased with the turnout, the weather and the speakers," 86th Annual OLC President Steve Henson said. "The OLC team did a great job putting on a first-class conference," he added.

The dates are set for the 87th Annual Oregon Logging Conference. It will take place from Feb. 20 to 22, 2025, at the Lane Event Center and Fairgrounds in Eugene, Ore. CEG
