For Innovative Events, Stay Creative and Adaptable

Spice up 'tried-and-true' programming

Our eighth planner of productivity is Hayley King, meeting planner for the Technical Association of the Paper & Pulp Industry. Formed more than a century ago, TAPPI has 14,000 members around the world who represent an array of industries including cardboard packaging, biofuels, and nanotechnology. The volunteer-powered legacy association sets global industry standards while delivering a steady stream of educational opportunities and events for members.

To serve its diverse constituents, TAPPI organizes various live and virtual events throughout the year; maintains an eLibrary with more than 25,000 technical papers; and publishes three magazines and six newsletters to keep members informed about industry trends and best practices. With historical papermaking equipment on display for visitors, even TAPPI’s headquarters in Atlanta has an educational component.

TAPPI’s annual line-up of more than 30 events ranges from niche-topic webinars to the quadrennial SuperCorrExpo exhibition and networking event planned by King. In August, SuperCorrExpo 2021 brought 3,000 attendees and 220 exhibitors to Orlando, a city King values for its hospitality culture and easy accessibility for international guests.
