Smithers unveiled the full agenda for Go Wipes Conference 2025, returning Nov. 12-13, 2025, as the premier event dedicated to the European and global wipes market. Now in its ninth year, the conference will once again bring together key stakeholders from across the supply chain — from raw material suppliers and nonwoven manufacturers to brand owners, retailers and sustainability experts.
Held as a two-day, in-person event, Go Wipes 2025 will deliver a future-focused program filled with insightful presentations, technical advancements and data-driven forecasts. The agenda has been carefully crafted in response to continued industry feedback and the growing demand for innovation, regulatory clarity and practical sustainability.
This year’s conference will focus on four core themes: market outlook and regulation, innovation in product development, consumer and retailer behaviour, and the evolving role of sustainability and digitalisation.
Highlights from Day One – Wednesday , Nov. 12 include:
• Market Outlook and Regulatory Updates: Featuring Philip Mango (Smithers) on global trends and Wes Fisher (INDA) on North American regulatory shifts
• Innovation Across the Wipes Lifecycle: Presentations include the introduction of powder-based wipes (O-PAC), sustainable enhancements via Lyocell toolkit (Lenzing), and smarter manufacturing (BW Converting)
• Consumer Behaviour and Circular Thinking: Insights from Ecowipes, Biedronka (Jeronimo Martins Group), Euromonitor, goodwipes, and Mintel will explore how user expectations and global trends are shaping product development and retail strategy
The day concludes with an open networking drinks reception — a unique opportunity to engage with the industry’s most connected professionals.
Day Two – Thursday, Nov. 13 will deep-dive into sustainability and digital transformation, with sessions including:
• Sustainability as a Business Case, led by Suominen Corporation's EVP and CTO, Markku Koivisto
