What are the responsibilities and job description for the Fastmarkets Forest Products North America and International Containerboard Conference 2026 comes to Chicago position at PaperFIRST?
- 31 Jul 2026
An Agenda Built Around What Is Actually Changing
Demand uncertainty, fibre availability, shifting trade flows and tariff risk are reshaping how businesses plan. The 2026 programme addresses that directly: global containerboard supply and demand, recovered fibre markets and pricing, international trade and tariffs, brand owner requirements, AI and manufacturing efficiency, decarbonisation, and investment and M&A activity – all underpinned by Fastmarkets’ pricing intelligence and forecasts.
CEO of the year award and keynote
On November 3, Howard Coker, President and CEO of Sonoco Products, will receive the 2026 Fastmarkets Forest Products North American CEO of the Year award, selected by a panel of financial analysts and industry experts who follow the sector most closely. Coker will also deliver a keynote address to delegates, sharing his outlook on the forces reshaping packaging demand and the strategic decisions facing producers in the year ahead.
Who Is In The Room
The conference convenes the entire value chain in one place: integrated producers and mills, converters and corrugated packaging companies, brand owners and retailers, recovered fibre traders, logistics and technology providers, investors and advisers, and industry associations. Delegates hear from customers, suppliers, competitors and investors within a single event. The 2025 edition attracted 300 attendees from more than 30 countries, with 46% at senior management level or above.
