Get ready for a bold new chapter in forest products innovation. TAPPI will be "Uniting the Industry. Powering the Future" at TAPPI 2026, April 27-29, 2026 in Columbus, Ohio. This event will bring together professionals from across the global forest products industry for an experience unlike any before.
A Reimagined Experience Built Around Three Cornerstones:
Mill Monday
Kick off with the State of the Industry, an Executive Panel, and relationship building on the show floor. Then dive into sessions focused on elevating and improving operations and efficiency at mills—including safety and reliability. You’ll get practical ideas, solutions and best practices that you can take back to the mill and implement immediately.
Technical Tuesday
Explore sessions and connect with other professionals across 13 different forest product sectors. Engage with NextGen leaders at the Student Poster Competition and join the knowledge-sharing Hot Topics session to get answers to your burning questions and issues.
Workshop Wednesday
