Today the Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI) announced a new event partnership with PRIMA, the Paper & Related Industries Marketing Association. The partnership will translate into a mutual promotion of both the European Paper Week as well as the Annual PRIMA conference. In addition, CEPI members will benefit from a members participation fee to the PRIMA annual conference.
The two annual events not only take place within six months of each other, they also complement each other in terms of content. PRIMA conferences offer a professional forum to update existing knowledge and to broaden one’s horizon regarding the various sectors of the forest products network as well as an excellent networking opportunity. The European Paper Week primarily focuses on the hottest issues affecting the European pulp and paper industry on a European level. “This partnership will offer our members the possibility to view a complete spectrum of our industry’s current state, on all levels. This can only be beneficial for all”, says CEPI Director General Marco Mensink.
PRIMA’s Annual Conference will take place in Graz, Austria on 18-19 May 2015 and the European Paper Week in Brussels on 17-19 November 2015. To find out more about both events, go to http://www.prima-beyond-information.org/ and http://www.cepi.org/epw respectively.
