Registration Is Open for KilnCon 2026

Lime kilns and the recaust area rarely get top billing at a mill — until something goes wrong. KilnCon exists to change that, and registration for the 2026 edition is now open.

Hosted by the Lake States TAPPI/North Central PIMA and Gulf Coast TAPPI Local Sections, KilnCon 2026 runs August 26–27, 2026 at the Oneida Casino Hotel Green Bay Meeting and Conference Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Register here.

Now in its ninth year, KilnCon draws kiln and recaust professionals from mills across the U.S., Canada and beyond. Mill staff, researchers, consultants, OEMs and servicing contractors come together for two days of workshops, technical sessions and the kind of hallway conversations that solve problems back home.

This year's program digs into lime kiln maintenance, refractory, process and operations, efficiency improvements, kiln build-up, burners, dust, cameras and lime mud optimization, and much more. Browse the full agenda and start mapping out your two days.

Whether you're hunting for proven fixes to a specific headache in your kiln or recaust area, or simply want to understand these critical systems better, KilnCon 2026 is where you'll find the answers and the people who found them first.
