On September 9-11, Antwerp will host the Fastmarkets Transport Symposium – the only event for logistics and supply chain operators servicing the pulp, paper and packaging industries. We as New Silk Road Network are delighted to partner with them this year to provide our members with a special deal to attend and connect better with the pulp and paper industry.

Over 2.5 days at the Hilton Antwerp Old Town, the event will feature sessions with 30 expert speakers. They will cover topics such as labor shortages, the role of AI and the EU’s Emissions Trading System.

These market-leading speakers will provide their perspectives on industry issues and the future of the sector, while Fastmarkets will offer in-depth data analysis.

Attendees will also enjoy opportunities to connect with colleagues such as networking lunches and a cocktail reception. Plus, they have the option to join an exclusive tour of the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, Europe’s second-largest port and home to a large forest products terminal.

The expected 350+ delegates will come from 180+ companies, including organisations in shipping, containerboard, technology, packaging and freight. End users will also attend, ensuring the whole supply chain is represented.

Speakers at the event will include:

• Jari Voutilainen – senior vice president at Metsä Group
• Constanza Arjona - supply chain director at CMPC
• Flavio Costa – logistics director at Eldorado
• Trond Bardsen – senior vice president at SagaWelco
• Margherita Miceli – forest policy manager at Cepi
• Gustavo Bermudez – commercial director at Euroports China
• Tony Tang – managing director at Port of Qingdao
• Bob Davidson – president at IFPTA

Hearing from figures like these will give delegates a vital window on a shifting forest products landscape and rapidly changing supply/demand dynamics.
