Boston, (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - RISI today announced plans for their 2008 fall conferences in North America and Latin America. This year, RISI will be organizing three key events in the fall: the RISI North American Forest Products Conference, the RISI Latin American Pulp and Paper Outlook Conference and the International Containerboard Conference.
The 23rd annual North American Forest Products Conference will take place September 14 - 16, 2008 at the Seaport Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Every year, the North American conference attracts nearly three hundred attendees. Delegates include representatives from the largest forest products companies in the world, as well as major end users, financial analysts and suppliers. This year's conference will explore the topic "Recovery Ahead: Can Green be Gold?" and will feature regional and global industry forecasts presented by RISI economists and engineers, guest speakers from leading organizations, plus a CEO panel discussion on timely industry topics.
The 3rd Latin American Pulp and Paper Outlook Conference will be held October 8 - 10, 2008, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This year's event will focus on "Globalization and Consolidation in the Latin American Pulp and Paper Industry" and will include presentations from industry leaders and RISI experts. Rhiannon James-van Beuningen, Senior Vice President, Media Products at RISI commented, "Following the huge success of our Latin American event last year, we are moving to a hotel with larger conference facilities to accommodate the additional attendees that we expect to see at our 2008 event. Last year we welcomed over 300 delegates to the conference and we hope to exceed that number this year."
The final RISI event of the year will be the International Containerboard Conference to be held on November 12 - 14, 2008 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The program will feature a host of leading industry executives from around the world and for the first time will also include a special session on the boxboard market. Held every two years, this international event attracts around 250 people from the packaging sector, including producers, converters, consumer goods companies and financial analysts.
