TAPPI Announces PEERS Conference, formerly EPE

Why the change? "The name more accurately captures the broad range of technical topics discussed, and highlights the important peer-to-peer networking that happens during the event, " according to Danny Haynes of Eka Chemicals, current Pulp Manufacture Division Chair. The new name also means enhancement to the program in 2010. David White of the Herty Advanced Materials Development Center and Engineering Division Chair commented, "We plan to continue the tremendous technical sessions offered at EPE, plus add more bioenergy and business content to address the interests of our attendees"

The PEERS Conference will include an extensive program of technical papers, invited speakers, peer-reviewed technical sessions, workshops, roundtables and a mill tour. Co-located with TAPPI PEERS this year is the 9th Research Forum on Recycling, co-organized by TAPPI and PAPTAC. To accommodate tight budgets, one registration fee will allow attendees to access both conferences.
