The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) and the NPTA Alliance, joint hosts of the annual paper industry meeting, announced today that Paper2011 would be held in Chicago on March 27-29, 2011.

“Today’s changing economic demands and business climate have the entire paper industry taking a fresh look at how we position ourselves for continued growth in the future,” said AF&PA President and CEO Donna Harman.  “Paper2011 will be the premier venue to have those discussions and the new location in Chicago will really enhance our efforts to foster a broader perspective on the industry.” 

“Paper2011 in Chicago will bring representatives across the supply chain together in a new location,” said Newell Holt, CEO of NPTA.  “This will be the one event in 2011 where leaders from across the industry can come together to discuss ways to advance their respective companies’ interest as well as that of our industry.”
