Our Technical Forums are useful for active technicians from paper companies to get together to improve their on-going training. The foremost advantage lies in the fact that they provide for the exchange of experiences among technicians working in similar fields in different mills.

At present, our Technical Forums cover five different areas:

• Maintenance
• Prevention of Work-related Accidents
• Energy
• Pulp Production
• Recovery Boilers

Nonetheless, IPE is open to the creation of new forums in whatever areas our member companies may seem fit.

These Technical Forums are mainly aimed at technicians from Pulp, Paper and Board producing companies but they may also be of interest for the technical staff of supply companies or the customers of the paper companies themselves.

The main benefits a technician derives from participating in these Technical Forums include:

• Exchanging experiences and information among like-minded technicians with similar responsibilities at other mills.
• Learning about successful solutions that others have applied to common problems
• Building contacts and relationships with other technicians
• Participating in the presentation of the latest technology relating to each area of interest by the relevant supplier and experts.
