Cepi Paper & Beyond 2020
Project
Paper & Beyond is the annual event of the Confederation of European Paper Industries (Cepi) and its value chain, bringing together pulp and paper producers, paper and cardboard product manufacturers, technology suppliers, EU policymakers, researchers, scientists and press members.
By partnering with OFCORES, Cepi was able to hold this year’s edition virtually for the first time! The 2-day event was broadcasted from a studio located in Brussels. On top of engaging sessions, all participants had access to online networking experiences and a digital library of resources to extend the virtual experience!
