Back by Popular Demand!

The What's New Sessions return as part of the Corrugated Week conference program, now held on the General Session main stage for greater visibility.

What's New?

In this fast-paced, high-energy program, participating exhibitors take the stage for 7-minute power presentations that spotlight the latest advancements in products, technologies, and services - all introduced since January 2025.

With no commercial restrictions and a focus on real innovation, both sessions are designed to deliver maximum value in minimal time. You'll walk away with fresh insights, practical takeaways, and a look at what’s shaping the future of the corrugated industry.

Two sessions. Dozens of new ideas. Zero time wasted.

All presentations must comply with TAPPI’s antitrust guidelines and focus on truly new offerings - whether it’s a brand-new product, a new service, or a novel application of an existing solution. Priority goes to Corrugated Week 2026 Exhibitors.

Presentation Requirements

  • Your presentation must cover a new product, a new service, or a new application of an existing product or service. "New" means introduced to the market after January 2025. You will need to provide the month and year it first launched.
  • Submit a title, speaker name and contact information, company name, and a short abstract (about 50 words or less describing the presentation) to TAPPI by August 7, 2026.
  • Company names, trade names, and logos are welcome in your presentation.
  • Pricing information is not allowed. Presenters must follow TAPPI antitrust guidelines (view the policy). Violations may result in removal from the presentation and a ban from future What's New programs.
  • Presentations are limited to 7 minutes total, with no Q&A during the session. A visible timer will track your time, and you will be asked to stop at the end of your slot whether you have finished or not. Direct attendees to your booth for follow up questions.
