Save the date for the Tissue 2017 Conference

Following the historic merger
between PPI and Paper360° magazines
at the beginning of 2016, TAPPI and RISI
have taken their collaborative efforts one
step further.
These two industry-leading organizations have joined forces to produce the new
Tissue 2017 Conference and Expo October

conference will cover all aspects of the tissue
industry. Expected attendees include senior
executives and mill operations management
from major tissue manufacturers, financial
analysts and investors, as well as leading
machine, chemical, and process suppliers.

the tissue industry. Expect the program to
include:
* An executive panel featuring leaders from
North and South America
* Assessments by RISI economists on market
drivers and raw material trends including
virgin pulp and recycled fiber

of retailers and buyers
