BWPA Summer Symposium 2020

The next Summer Symposium will be 5-7 May 2020

Richmond Upon Thames, UK

The Summer event is probably one of the very few occasions that European pulp and papermakers can network and socialise without the pressure of negotiations. It’s a great chance to meet up before the Summer break and touch base with what’s happening on the global market.

The 2019 programme:

Global Economics: What next?

Vicky Pryce, Chief Economic Advisor at the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR).
