Invitation to Present at 2015 TAPPI Tissue360 Forum

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

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.
