Registration is now open for Corrugated Week 2026, one of the leading events for the global corrugated packaging industry. The conference will take place from September 28–30, 2026, in Fort Worth, Texas, bringing together more than 1,400 corrugated professionals from around the world for three days of technical exchange, business development, and networking.
Jointly organized by TAPPI and AICC, Corrugated Week serves as a key meeting point for industry stakeholders, from converters and suppliers to technology providers. Held every four years, the event is among the largest gatherings in the North American corrugated packaging sector, combining technical education, networking opportunities, and a large exhibition showcasing the latest developments in corrugated manufacturing.
This year’s program will feature keynote presentations from Laurent Sellier, CEO, The Americas, at Smurfit Westrock, and Will Cain, political analyst, columnist, sports commentator, and host of The Will Cain Show.
Educational sessions will focus on operational efficiency, workforce development, automation, and emerging technologies. Planned breakout sessions include discussions on artificial intelligence for plant floor management, practical applications of manufacturing data, rotary diecutting performance optimization, material handling strategies, business succession planning, and leadership development.
A dedicated training course, Effective Methods to Maximize Diecutting, is also planned, with registration details to be announced at a later date.
Beyond the technical program, attendees will have access to a wide range of networking opportunities, including the Corrugated Classic Golf Tournament, a welcome reception, networking breakfasts, a Women in Packaging networking event, and exhibition-floor receptions. TAPPI and AICC will also present industry awards during the event.
A featured social event, the “Tuesday Night Spectacular” at River Ranch Stockyards, will offer participants an opportunity to connect in an informal setting inspired by Texas culture.
The exhibition floor is expected to feature more than 145 suppliers showcasing equipment, technology, services, and innovations for the corrugated industry. In addition, “What’s New” sessions will provide attendees with an early look at recently introduced products and technologies.
Following the conference, participants will have the option to join plant tours in the Fort Worth area on October 1, offering behind-the-scenes access to corrugated manufacturing facilities. Separate registration and fees apply.
