2025 Production-Technical Seminar
Next year’s P-T Seminar will be held on May 5 & 6, at the Minneapolis Convention Center, co-located with TAPPICon 2025. Session topics will be:

  1. Safer Operations
  2. Ways to improve paper properties, e.g.; ply bond, formation
  3. Wet end chemistry optimization (a 2-hour mini-course by highly experienced consultant)
  4. Solid waste reduction

An exciting change: RPTA members will register with RPTA and we will register the group with TAPPICon. The cost for each member will be less than prior years and will include the entire 4-dayTAPPICon program, instead of just RPTA’s two days.

Stay tuned as details develop.
