SuperCorrExpo To Take Place, Live And In-Person In Orlando

Box Shipments ( U.S. Corrugated Product Shipments) Industry Shipments In Billions of Square Feet Month December 2020

For the first time since 2016, the corrugated industry will have a major trade show at which to safely gather together in Orlando, Florida, at SuperCorrExpo (SCE). Organized by TAPPI and AICC, The Independent Packaging Association, SCE is one of the best ways to see cutting-edge equip- ment and technology innovations in action under one roof. “After more than a year of limited to no travel, stay-at- home orders, and other pandemic-related restrictions, the corrugated industry is ready to meet safely and conduct important business,” said TAPPI President and CEO, Lar- ry Montague. “There is pent-up demand for equipment, products and solutions.” AICC President, Mike D’Angelo added, “With an exhibit floor featuring working machinery, technical innovations, relationship-building events and production information, all appropriately socially distanced, this event will be the place where ideas are exchanged and deals are closed.” SCE is being held at the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC). Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in technical sessions on the latest industry de- velopments pre- and post-COVID, as well as several corru- gated courses. There are three dynamic keynote presen- tations scheduled, with another in development. CONTINUED ON PAGE 36
