The 2^nd International Conference on Processing Technologies for the Forest and Bio-based Products Industries took place on November 6 - 7, 2012 at St. Simons Island, Georgia, USA. The conference is dedicated to the exchange of information and ideas about research on process technologies, quality control, and process improvement. Contemporary topics on real-time predictive modeling of processes, continuous improvement, lean manufacturing, lean six-sigma, and advanced data mining will be presented at the conference. The Conference provides a forum for discussions among researchers, producers, and consumers of forest and bio-based products and acts as a catalyst for new research and development, and applications for manufacturing industries. The conference will be of direct benefit to researchers, operations managers, technical managers, and business managers.

The conference offers a forum for learning between scientists and industry. The conference builds upon the highly successful 1st International Conference on Processing Technologies for the Forest and Bio-based Products Industries that was held in Austria in 2010.
