TAPPI’s Introduction to Pulp & Paper Technology Course (IPP), January 13-16, 2025 in St. Petersburg, Florida, is the most comprehensive introductory- to intermediate-level course in the industry offering an overview of the entire pulping and papermaking process.
IPP is TAPPI’s highly popular, longest-running course, offering a curriculum perfect for those new to the pulp and paper industry, those seeking a refresher, or individuals stepping into a new role in mill operations.
For more than 50 years, Michael J. Kocurek, Ph.D. has continuously updated the content, visuals and curriculum so that it remains aligned with the evolving conditions of the industry. This year he’ll be joined by Thomas Holm, an industry veteran who has taught pulp and paper courses to customers and sales associates on four continents. Not only will you learn from the industry’s top educators in pulp and paper technology, you’ll gain information from more than 2,400 visuals, and receive a copy of the “Smook Book” that you can refer back to later.
Gain a Mill-Wide Perspective of 'What' Happens in Papermaking and 'Why"
Over four days, attendees will learn the entire process of papermaking from raw materials and wood preparation to pulping and finishing. You will:
- Enjoy greater confidence in your understanding of pulp and paper processes
- Interact knowledgeably with process engineers and operators
- Contribute to improvements within your mill
- Discover how one part of the mill affects another
Upon completion of this course, you’ll earn 2.6 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and leave with answers to your specific pulp and papermaking questions and solutions that can be applied back at your mill.
