The 2010 TAPPI PLACE CONFERENCE focusing on Sustainability and Innovations in Flexible Consumer Packaging was held April 18-21, 2010 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. With just under 300 registered attendees the event proved to be not only educational, but a great networking opportunity for both converters and brand owners.
An audience of approximately 200 people attended the Interactive Troubleshooting Session at the 2010 PLACE Conference. Each of the group of International panelists presented real work case studies on how they have used the TAPPI Press book "Roll and Web Defect Terminology" to solve real world troubleshooting problems faced in the web manufacturing and converting industries.
Two of these International panelists used interactive web technology to make their presentations. Then an hour panel discussion using TWITTER allowed the audience to interact with this distinguished panel of experts with more than 250 years of troubleshooting
experience.
TAPPI President/CEO Larry Montague and TAPPI Vice President of Operations Eric Fletty both attended this session. Mr. Montague stated, "Bringing experts from around the world
into a single forum to address conference attendee's troubleshooting challenges significantly adds value to TAPPI Membership. Interactive sessions like this, IS what TAPPI is all about!"
