Specialty Papers Europe 2026

Specialty Papers Europe 2026 is scheduled for 8th–9th September 2026 at the Austria Trend Hotel Savoyen Vienna, Vienna, Austria. The event is a specialist conference dedicated to the specialty paper and packaging industries, bringing together professionals to discuss developments, market trends, technologies, and challenges affecting the sector.

The conference focuses on the evolving specialty paper market and the wider fibre-based packaging value chain. Key discussions are expected to address topics such as paperisation, sustainability, circularity, market developments, innovation, packaging applications, and changing industry requirements, providing delegates with insights into current and future directions.

The programme features expert presentations, strategic discussions, Q&A sessions, networking opportunities, and a networking drinks reception. As part of Smithers Paper Week 2026, Specialty Papers Europe follows PRIMA on 7th September, allowing participants with the combined ticket to engage with a broader programme covering the pulp, paper, and fibre industries.

The event is relevant to paper and packaging manufacturers, converters, suppliers, chemical companies, technology providers, packaging professionals, researchers, sustainability specialists, senior executives, and other stakeholders across the paper value chain. Its focus on knowledge exchange and senior-level industry interaction makes it particularly relevant for professionals involved in strategy, product development, innovation, sustainability, and business decisions.

For professionals following the specialty paper and sustainable packaging sectors, Specialty Papers Europe 2026 provides an opportunity to understand market developments, exchange technical and strategic knowledge, and connect with stakeholders across the European paper and packaging supply chain.
