Time is running out for the December 15th early-bird registration deadline for two major TAPPI training courses! Attendees can save $1,300 by registering early for either the Kraft Recovery Operations Course (KROS) or the Introduction to Pulp & Paper Technology Course (IPP), both scheduled for January 12–15, 2026, at the Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Two Courses, One Location
Held concurrently, both courses offer four days of in-depth training led by experienced industry experts.
The Kraft Recovery Operations Course provides a comprehensive overview of the kraft recovery cycle, including black liquor evaporation and combustion, recausticizing, and lime kiln operations. Participants gain practical strategies to improve energy efficiency, reduce operating costs, and strengthen recovery performance. Each registrant receives a complimentary copy of Kraft Recovery Boilers, Third Edition, a reference valued at more than $200.
The Introduction to Pulp & Paper Technology Course delivers the industry’s leading overview of the entire papermaking process, from raw materials through finished products. Attendees learn fundamental principles of fiber sourcing, pulping, bleaching, papermaking, and finishing operations. Registration includes a complimentary copy of The Handbook for Pulp & Paper Technologists, Fourth Edition, (The Smook Book), along with a 15% discount on select TAPPI publications.
Hotel Deadline Dec. 22
TAPPI has secured a discounted group rate of $209 per night at the Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront, available through Dec. 22, 2025. Attendees are encouraged to reserve rooms early, as space is limited during peak season.
With significant savings available and two highly regarded training programs offered in the same location, this January presents an ideal opportunity to strengthen technical knowledge, expand professional networks, and gain practical skills that can be put to work immediately.
