DRAWING A CROWD. Last year's Paper Recycling Conference in suburban Chicago attracted more than 550 industry professionals from around the world. This year's event is structured to include many of the same attractions that have helped to establish the conference as a must-attend event: educational programming, the latest equipment and service offerings in the exhibit hall and many networking opportunities. New this year is the addition of a guest speaker who offers a wider view of global trends and economic fundamentals. Don Reynolds is billed as "a hands-on economist and futurist" who offers listeners an insider's view of current economic and political events. His career and current research focuses on understanding long-term economic, demographic and technology trends and their effects on investors and business owners. (See "AN ENERGETIC LOOK AT THE FUTURE".) The opening general session featuring Reynolds is one of several events during the three-day conference that offers attendees of the Paper Recycling Conference and two other conferences taking place in parallel--Recycling Today's Plastics Recycling Conference and the debut of the Electronics Recycling Conference--to network with attendees of the other shows. Another session on the cross-marketing opportunities of these different materials is open to attendees of all three events, as are exhibit hall breaks and receptions. All three events are structured to allow for networking to take place between participants in the three markets, as many companies are either already recyclers of paper, plastics and electronics or they are exploring entering the other markets. That very topic is among those on the schedule for attendees of the Paper Recycling Conference & Trade Show.
