The World's Largest Tissue Event is set to take place in Milan from 10-12 April 2017

The tissue industry has shown strong support for the new host city, Milan. Top-level speakers, tissue makers and converters from around the globe, and most of the world's suppliers to the tissue business, are all keen to be part of the event.

Floor space is 90% filled

By early December, five months before the show opens, more than 130 companies from all over the world have booked stand space at the event. Many exhibitors are joining the show for the first time.

In terms of net space, this means about 3,700 square meters have been booked. The space is now over 90% allocated with only about 300 to 400 square meters remaining on the floor plan.

Featuring over 200 exhibitors from more than 30 countries, the trade show brings together all the leading industry players from throughout the supply chain - raw materials to converting, packaging, wrapping and transport - for 3 days of business discussions and networking.

Excellent learning opportunity

Alongside the trade show, Tissue World Milan will feature a 3-day conference, with the theme "Change is the Only Constant, but where is the Tipping Point?". As part of the conference, the Senior Management Symposium (SMS), taking place on 10 April, will examine relevant issues and topics that can be change-drivers for success in the tissue industry.

Some topics which will be covered at the conference include: an economic outlook; trend spotting, highlights on consumer preferences; the impact of globalization on trade flows; buyers' views; the latest on the pulp market; and a look to the future of sustainability.

Other components of the conference include the hands-on Yankee Dryer Operations Workshop and the Tissue Retailer and Distributor Insight Forum (TRIF) on 11 April. 

Technical sessions will kick off on 11 April and continue over 12 April to end this intense conference program on Wednesday afternoon. Technical sessions will cover topics from different angles such as the impact of Industry 4.0 in tissue manufacturing, strength properties and energy savings and product novelties. The final program will be released in January.

Tissue World offers a diverse and complete networking platform

The 2017 trade show will not only feature a show floor packed with exhibiting companies and a robust conference program, but will also offer a variety of side-events and entertainment which will make Tissue World in Milan a memorable experience.

Social functions will include a Gala Dinner and also a Happy Hour Reception. A Relaxing Lounge will provide yoga classes and Tissue World TV-corner will feature live interviews broadcasted over the entire show floor.
