On October 28-30, Fastmarkets will run two forest products events at the same venue in Chicago, giving delegates double the industry insights and networking opportunities – for the cost of one ticket.
Formerly known as RISI North America, the Forest Products North America Conference will take place alongside the International Containerboard Conference – at the Westin Chicago River North hotel.
Across both events, over 40 industry-leading speakers will address more than 380 forest products professionals. Each event has a separate agenda focus, but delegates can attend sessions as they choose and enjoy shared networking areas. Speakers in Chicago will include:
- Tony Smurfit, group CEO and president – Smurfit Westrock
- Brad Southern, chair and CEO – LP Building Solutions
- Mike Doss, CEO – Graphic Packaging
- Craig Gunckel, CEO – Iconex
- Greg Tucker, CEO – Bay Cities
- Nedim Nisic, group eCommerce director – Mondi Group
The agendas cover the hottest topics in forest products, such as AI tech, sustainability, regulatory impacts, e-commerce packaging, paper vs plastic and M&A activity. North American CEOs will reveal strategies for tackling supply chain challenges, skills gaps and post-Covid demand issues. While industry experts will detail the macroeconomic factors moving the containerboard market.
October 28 will be devoted to a pre-day workshop on optimizing sustainability, including the latest trends, important metrics, and how attendees’ businesses can become greener. Throughout both conferences, Fastmarkets experts will offer in-depth data analysis – with the combined event format giving delegates a fuller and wider view of vital markets.
Networking made easy
Attendees will also enjoy plentiful opportunities to connect with colleagues, such as networking lunches and breaks, topic tables, and cocktail receptions. Delegates will come from across the international containerboard and North American forest products supply chains. End users, paper mills, logistics companies, technology providers, investors, and forest products producers will all be there.
