We are pleased to announce PPI Transport Symposium 23 will be hosted by the Port of Tarragona

 

PPI Transport Symposium is the longest running conference and exhibition dedicated to the global forest products logistics industry. Organized by Fastmarkets RISI, in association with the International Forest Products Transport Association (IFPTA), the event focuses on the issues surrounding the worldwide transport, materials handling, and distribution of forest products.

In 2019, the IFPTA and Fastmarkets RISI will be delighted to welcome you to Tarragona, Spain, for the Transport Symposium 23 in cooperation with Euroports and the Port of Tarragona. 

Based at the Port of Tarragona, one of the biggest paper and pulp ports in Europe, and with over 500 attendees, TS23 will witness one of the biggest gatherings of supply chain professionals and buyers over the next two years.

Catch up with clients, meet industry peers, renew acquaintances and ensure you are part of the conversation as you shore up your short and long term pipeline.

Here we are in Q1 2019. It only seems like yesterday that we were in Savannah for TS22. We are now looking forward to TS23 in September in Tarragona.

Einar Didriksen and I are busy working on the programme, building interesting topics and working with the Moderators to build quality panels.

We have several themes that have been determined already which we believe to be especially relevant today.

A World-Class Learning and Collaborative Event

Greetings from the sunny US South. We are not yet halfway through February, yet the weather feels a bit like Spring -- which reminds us that we are that much closer to Transport Symposium 22.  This, then, is a good time to remind you that registration for the Symposium is open. We have early bird discount rates available, group discounts, plus the exclusive IFPTA Member fee - so get those registrations in soon.
