Selection of Presentations

All abstracts will be reviewed by the TAPPI Technical Program Committee. This committee is made up of a group of TAPPI volunteers including suppliers and converters who are from different sectors of the industry. “Newness” of the product or service and the date that it was first introduced will be considered strongly in the selection process.
