Welcome to the International Panel Products Symposium homepage. IPPS is the leading technical conference on wood based panels, including all aspects of panel production technology feedstocks resins and additives, and market analysis and wood based panels in furniture and construction applications.

This year we have speakers presenting exciting developments in the field of low-formaldehyde and formaldehyde free products. The conference will also include a focus on sustainability and sustainable buildings - a topic where wood based panels can make a positive contribution. Join us in Nantes to learn more.

As the conference rapidly approaches we have added a new podcast interview with Christian Schwarz of Swedspan. He discusses many of the themes and WBP developments that will be covered by the conference.

The provisional programme for IPPS 2009 is available online.
