Final Lap: The Invitation to Present for TAPPICon 2027 Closes Friday, October 2

TAPPICon®️, April 24-28, 2027 in Indianapolis, IN, is the industry's most comprehensive technical conference, bringing together thought leaders, innovators, and decision-makers from across the global forest products industry to explore the solutions, technologies, and best practices shaping what comes next. The Invitation to Present closes October 2, 2026 and will not be extended.

Built around the theme "Driven by Innovation. Fueled by Sustainability," this year's event is powered by the people ready to take pole position and show the industry what's possible.

If you've engineered your way past a tough operational challenge, pushed a sustainability initiative across the line, or found a quicker path to smarter mill operations, TAPPICon wants you on the grid.

Presenting at TAPPICon lets you take the wheel to:

  • Establish yourself as a subject matter expert with focused, targeted content your peers can put into action
  • Give attendees practical tools they can take back and put to work immediately
  • Help set the pace for the industry by contributing to a technical program built on solutions, guidance, and next-generation thinking

Organizers aren't looking for a warm-up lap — they want practical strategies and real-world case studies attendees can put to use the moment they're back at the mill. But the window to enter is closing fast, so don't wait until the final stretch to submit.

TAPPICon's technical program will feature presentations from top experts like you across a broad range of forest products industry segments and interest groups, including:

Coating, Printing and Surface Enhancement • Engineering • Nonwovens • Paper and Board • PIMA Management • Process Control • Process and Product Quality (P&PQ) • Pulp Manufacture • Recycled Paper Technical Association (RPTA) • Tissue • Women in Industry • Young Professionals

The checkered flag is coming into view. Submit your abstract through TAPPI's Speaker Management System before the deadline hits on October 2, 2026 — don't watch this race from the pit lane. Lock in your spot and join a global network of industry innovators and leaders at TAPPICon 2027.
