Miami . . . Tissue World Americas, the leading conference and trade show for the North and South American tissue businesses, was very successfully held during March 11-14, 2008 in sunny Miami Beach, Florida, USA. The event attracted a widespread crowd of over 700 tissue makers, converters, traders and other professionals who were there to learn about new technology, processes, products and solutions for the tissue industry.

Among the visitors were more than 290 delegates to the Tissue World Americas conference which featured a total of 36 speakers addressing the theme of “Meeting the Challenges in Today's Tissue Business”. The well-rounded program, covering key market developments as well as important new tissue making technology, equipment and solutions, was very well received by the audience.

The exhibition included almost 125 supplier companies. Although the aisles were not overly crowded, there was a business-like feel to the show and most exhibitors were very pleased with the highlyfocused, high-level visitors that were on hand. As one experienced exhibitor put it: “The beauty of this show compared with others we attend is the level of the visitors. We had 15-20 customers and all are serious. This compares with some other shows where we get hundreds of stand visitors but very few offer true business potential. In Miami it is really quality – not quantity.”

An impressive 52 countries were represented as visitors and delegates came from all six continents around the globe. While the majority were from North America, there was also a larger than normal presence of Latin & South American tissue makers (19% of visitors), reflecting the growing activity in terms of investments in that region.

CMP Asia is pleased to announce that the next Tissue World Americas will take place on March 15- 18, 2010 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Initial bookings for stands at the show are now being taken with many of this year’s exhibitors already signed up for their stands. Suppliers are encouraged to make bookings now to ensure a prime location at the 2010 event.
