Venue

Welcome to Helsinki, the capital of Finland – the land of a thousand lakes that is covered by forests by over 71%. Did you know that Finland has been ranked the happiest country in the world for the 7th consecutive time by UN World Happiness Report (2024) and that our tap water is amongst the highest quality in the world?

Travel and accommodation

You can reach Helsinki easiest by plane to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport (HEL). Helsinki also has ferry connections with Estonia, Sweden, Latvia and Germany.

Helsinki and its surrounding cities have accommodation possibilities to cater to all wishes. Our recommendation list would be so long, we have decided not to put it here, but you may want to take a look at the hotel located on the same wooden building as WoodBuild Finland’s dinner at restaurant Harbore at Pier 4!

Pikku-Finlandia

Built near Töölönlahti Bay, Pikku-Finlandia provides a temporary venue during the renovation of Finlandia Hall between 2022 and 2025. In the spirit of the circular economy, Pikku-Finlandia can be moved and reused once the renovation is over. The building components and materials are reusable or recyclable.
