TAPPI has issued an invitation to present at the third annual Tissue360° Forum to be held at PaperCon and TAPPI’s Centennial Celebration in Atlanta, Ga., USA, on April 19-22, 2015. Any mill personnel, R&D professionals, suppliers, students, and academics are strongly encouraged to submit abstracts—TAPPI is interested in providing a diverse forum of forward thinking ideas.  
 
Potential Topics at the 2015 Tissue360° Forum include:
 
Furnish Optimization 
  • Alternative fibers
  • Fiber treatment technologies
  • Fiber reduction strategies 
  • Nanocellulose applications
Chemistry and Additives for Process Improvement
  • Yankee coatings
  • Fillers 
  • Strength

  • Grade change
  • Monitoring and predictive strategies
  • Automation

  • Packaging
  • Printing, embossing, laminations
Safety
  • Yankee risks and best practices
  • Dust handling.
The Tissue360° Forum is the only technical program for North American tissue manufacturers during 2015. Plus, tissue manufacturers appreciate TAPPI’s peer review and anti-commercialism policy, assuring a true technical program rather than sales presentations. Your paper and presentation will be made available to all conference attendees in the proceedings and to TAPPI members worldwide via TAPPI’s online e-library (with permission).
 
Instead of a full paper, you may also consider presenting in the New Technology Showcase (NTS) for short, commercial presentations of a new product or service. The NTS is a great compliment to an exhibit booth.  
 
You are strongly encouraged to submit a technical paper; however presentations alone and posters are permitted. All papers and PowerPoints will be peer reviewed by TAPPI’s Tissue360° Forum Program Committee for technical merit and commercialism. Submit your abstract electronically to TAPPI’s Speaker Management System no later than this coming October 31.

Oct. 31, 2014—Abstract due. Accepted abstracts will be invited to produce a full manuscript 
Jan. 30, 2015—Full Paper Draft to session chair
