Why Present at Tissue360° Forum?

The Tissue360° Forum is the only tissue technical program in North American 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.

How Do I Submit My Abstract?

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 Oct. 31, 2014.
