Sappi Fine Paper Europe CEO to deliver a keynote speech on the future of paper in the digital age

The PRIMA conference is one of the foremost events in the paper world, taking place in a different European city every year, and bringing together all of the major actors of the sector.

The 2011 conference is hosted by Sappi, and speakers include Robert A. Latham of PaperlinX Europe, Bart Muskala and Jan Algoed of Proximity BBDO, Paul Marsh of Virgin Media, Kirsten Lange of the Boston Consulting Group, Peter Phippen of BBC Magazines, Eric Van den Bruel of Sappi, Clive Suckling of PricewaterhouseCoopers, Prof. Xuewu Gu of Bonn University and Mats Nordlander of Stora Enso. The three day long event will focus both on the transition brought about by the rise of digital media and the changing geographical dynamics of the sector as Asian actors become serious competitors to European companies.

PRIMA 2011 provides an important and valuable forum for discussion, knowledge and inspiration for marketing, sales and strategic professionals of the pulp & paper industries. Suppliers to the industry, merchants, converters, printers and publishers will also find a unique, comprehensive, professional knowledge platform for the paper and related industries of Europe and other regions of the world. At the same time, PRIMA 2011 offers an important source of information for people representing other activities with a direct or indirect interest in the paper industry such as financial analysts, stock brokers, insurance companies and banks, the environmental movement, trade press and the transportation sector.
