The Sustaining Members Group will again sponsor the New Technology Session at the PAPTAC 88th Annual Meeting to be held at the Palais des Congrs in Montreal from January 28 to 31, 2002.
The object is to allow Sustaining Members to present brief sales-oriented papers which, because of their commercial nature, do not fit into other sessions at the meeting. The theme of the session is new developments relating to all aspects of pulp and paper production. The paper may be presented by:
a Sustaining Member company;
the member’s client;
the member and client jointly.
For more information, please contact the committee chairman, Dieter Kaschel, Nash Engineering at 302-459-3900 or e-mail dieter.kaschel@nasheng.com. The deadline for receipt of submissions is September 7, 2001.
